Is 98.4 a fever?

Been feeling a bit under the weather since morning. Just checked my temperature and it's 98.4. Does that count as a fever, or is it just slightly elevated?

98.4 is the textbook average body temperature. However, if you are feeling unwell or have other symptoms, don't rely only on internet opinions. Verify with a doctor to be safe.

I just checked my temp this morning and it was 98.4. It is completely normal. I had a fever last week and it was well over 101, so you are totally fine.

Arre haan, 98.4 to bilkul normal temperature hota hai na. Isme koi tension lene wali baat nahi hai, maze karo!

98.4 is standard. If you are experiencing constant chills or feeling cold despite normal temp, it might be worth getting your thyroid levels checked just to be safe.

Chill bro, 98.4 is absolutely normal! Don't stress too much about it, go watch a movie and relax.

98.4 is perfect. Honestly, I wish my life was as normal as this temperature reading. Go get some good sleep!

I totally get it, sometimes we get anxious checking the thermometer. But 98.4 is indeed the standard healthy body temperature. You are perfectly fine.
