Is 97.5 a fever?
After exercising, I felt a little hot, and my wife checked my temperature. It came out to be 97.5. Is that normal post-workout, or could it indicate something else? Not feeling sick otherwise.

97.5 is completely normal, so don't rush to buy expensive medicines or book lab tests. Save your money, eat home-cooked food, and rest. If you actually get a high fever later, only then plan for a clinic visit.

No, 97.5 is not a fever at all. Normal human body temperature is generally between 97°F and 99°F, so you are in the perfect zone. No need for any paracetamol, just stay hydrated.

It is not a fever. If you are feeling slightly weak or have a heavy head, just take steam at home and drink hot milk. No need to worry about doctor visits for this temperature.

My grandmother used to say to drink warm water with cumin when feeling low, but 97.5 is actually a very normal temperature. My doctor also confirmed that anything below 99 is fine. Rest well, child.

I get 97.5 on my thermometer quite often, especially in the mornings. It is completely normal and definitely not a fever. Just have a warm breakfast and you'll feel completely fine.
