Is 98 degrees a fever?
Someone told me that anything above 98 degrees Fahrenheit is a fever. My current temperature is exactly 98. Is this correct? Should I be taking precautions?

I am new to tracking this, but I think 98 is normal and not a fever. Does it change much during the evening, or does it stay the same?

98 is normal, but please don't rely on random internet forums if you are feeling very sick. Verify with a qualified doctor if you develop actual symptoms.

Don't worry, 98 is the standard normal body temperature, so you definitely don't have a fever. Put the thermometer away, get some warm food, and rest.
