A member asked:
If my normal body temperature is 97.2f what would be considered a fever in me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fever: 100.4 F is considered a fever for everyone. We all have a slight variation from 98.6 F which is a statistically derived normal temperature. By convention 100.4 F is deemed an abnormal temperature or a fever. We do not adjust that definition for individuals.
