Is 98.00 a fever?
My son has a mild cold, and his temperature was 98.00. I remember my mother saying anything above 98 is a fever for kids. Is 98.00 actually a fever, or is it still a normal reading for a child?

My fitness smartwatch tracks my skin temperature daily, and it usually hovers around 98.00. It is the textbook normal baseline. You are completely in the green zone, so chill.

My family doctor told me that medical science considers 98.6 as average, but anywhere between 97.0 and 99.0 is perfectly normal. So 98.00 is absolutely fine. It is definitely not a fever.

Don't worry, 98.00 is not a fever. In clinical terms, we only call it a low-grade fever when the thermometer reads 99.5 or above. You are absolutely fine.

It is completely normal body temperature. If you are feeling otherwise active and healthy, a light evening walk will help you feel even better and keep your circulation active.
