Is 99.1 a high fever?

My temperature is 99.1. Is 99.1 a high fever, or something to just monitor? I'm trying to decide if I need to see a doctor.

Please don't listen to people online saying 99.1 is a dangerous high fever. A high fever is typically above 101 or 102 degrees. If you are feeling unwell, consult a real doctor instead of diagnosing yourself on the internet.

My grandmother used to say a little warmth is just the body cleaning itself out. 99.1 is very mild, but if you have other symptoms like body ache, you should let your doctor know.

I have been feeling so shivering and tired with just 99.1 today. Is it normal to feel so down even when the temperature reading is not high? Has anyone else felt this way?
