Is a temperature of 99.3f considered a fever?

100.4: A rectal temperature of 100.4 or higher is considered fever in an infant or child. Most adult providers consider a similar oral temperature as fever in adults. However, some people have somewhat lower body temperatures than usual when well, so a 2-3 degree increase over one's normal temperature could also be considered a fever.
