Is 100.3 considered a fever?

My body temperature is 100.3. Is this reading considered a fever? My father told me anything above 99 is, but I always thought it was higher.

Yes, 100.3F is generally considered a low-grade fever. Keep an eye on it and see if it goes up. Plenty of fluids and rest usually help.

From my own experience with health issues, it's better to be safe. While not super high, 100.3 is still a fever. Monitor it closely and if you feel worse, please reach out to your doctor.

Yes, that temperature is a fever. For me, with BP issues, I have to be extra careful and always check with my doctor for any unusual symptoms. Monitor your general health.

Yes, 100.3 is a fever. Don't take it lightly. Drink lots of warm water, maybe some ginger tea. If it persists or you feel very weak, a doctor visit would be best.

Haan, 100.3 is a fever. Before rushing for expensive tests, try resting and home remedies for a day. If no improvement, then go to the doc. Saves money, yaar.
