Yes: If it is an oral temp it is a little elevated but could be with a mild cold or if overheated from say exercise or sitting n the hot sun. Just monitor it. If sick, it may go higher to a fever (101 and higher).

Some thoughts......: The definition of fever is a single temperature of 101 (or more) or two temperatures of 100.4 or more (up to 101) separated in time by 30 minutes. Remember that some otc meds can reduce temperature. Ask yourself why you are taking the temperature to begin with. It may be better to focus on these symptoms, and the fact you are concerned about them. Call your dr. To discuss. Theyll advise you.
