Is 98.5 a fever?
Feeling a bit warm today and my thermometer shows 98.5. Is this temperature considered a fever, or is it still a normal body temperature?

As a mother of two, I can assure you 98.5 is completely normal. No need to give any medicine or panic at all, just keep them hydrated.

I was just reading about this and 98.5 is well within the normal range. Our body temperature fluctuates throughout the day, so it is definitely not a fever.

Bro, 98.5 is completely normal. It is definitely not a fever, so you can easily go ahead and hang out or study. Chill!

98.5 is totally normal, so please don't rush to buy medicine or spend money on clinic visits. Just rest at home and you will be absolutely fine.

98.5 is a very healthy temperature, beta. No need to worry. Drink plenty of water and have light home-cooked meals.
