Yes, 38 degrees feels like a proper fever to me! I get super tired and achy. Does anyone else get really cold shivers with 38? It makes me feel so much worse.

Haan, 38 is definitely a fever. I just got over one a few weeks ago. I took a paracetamol, drank lots of fluids, and just rested. It usually comes down in a day or two if it's a common viral. If it stays high, then see a doctor.

Based on my experience, 38 degrees means I start feeling quite unwell, definitely feverish. I usually take it as a sign to take a break and rest. But I always tell people to listen to their own body and maybe get a professional opinion if they are unsure.

Yaar, 38 degrees Celsius is actually a fever. Like, properly a fever. It's not a super high one, but it means your body is fighting something. So take it easy, drink some warm water, and maybe a Dolo. Don't ignore it, haan?

From what the doctors at Apollo told me, 38°C is indeed considered a fever. It means your immune system is working. If you're concerned, the best thing to do is call your doctor directly. They can guide you on what steps to take, whether it's medication or further tests.
