Is 37.7 a fever?

My son woke up feeling quite hot this morning. The temperature is 37.7. Should I be concerned, is that a fever?

Namaste! While 37.7 is on the higher side of normal, it's often not considered a full fever yet. Keep yourself hydrated, rest a bit, and check again after a few hours. If it goes up or you feel worse, then definitely see a doctor.

Oh, this is exactly what I worry about! I had 37.7 last week and felt quite uneasy. Is that considered enough to call a doctor or just wait it out? I always feel so confused.

Hey! So, 37.7 is a low-grade temperature. Most doctors consider 38°C and above as a fever. Keep an eye on it, drink plenty of fluids, and get some rest. If it climbs or you have other symptoms, then definitely consult your GP.

For me, sometimes after a really intense session at the gym, my temp can be slightly elevated like that. It usually settles down after cooling off and hydrating properly. If you haven't exercised, maybe check your diet and water intake.

Gaon mein toh hum bolte hain thoda garmi hai. Daro mat, nimbu paani piyo aur thoda aaram karo. Agar zyada badhe toh doctor ke paas jaana. Sab theek ho jayega.

See, I had something similar and waited too long, ended up with a bad infection. Please, if you're feeling unwell, even a slight temperature can be a sign. Don't self-diagnose, get it checked by a doctor to be safe. It's better to be sure.
