Is 99.1 considered a fever?
Been feeling slightly off today, body aching thoda. My wife said I feel warm and the thermometer says 99.1. Is this reading considered a fever, or should I not worry too much?

Usually, 99.1 is not considered a proper fever. Just turn on the cooler, drink plenty of simple water, and rest for a bit. There is no need to run to the clinic for this.
Haan na, 99.1 is barely anything to worry about. Sometimes it's just due to warm weather or heavy work. Just drink some water and rest, it will go away easily.
It is just a slight warmth, so try drinking some warm ginger tea or tulsi water. But if you also have chest pain or breathing issues, then don't wait at home, go see a doctor immediately.
Honestly, 99.1 is just my body telling me I ate too much spicy food yesterday! It is not a real fever, so I'd still enjoy a light soup and sweet custard tonight.
I was researching this yesterday because I felt a bit warm. Actually, medical sites say true fever starts at 100.4, so 99.1 is just normal body fluctuation.
At Max Hospital, the doctor told me they don't even prescribe medicine unless the temperature touches 100. But if you feel really bad, it is always best to ask your physician directly.
In most cases, 99.1 is just mild physical fatigue or dehydration. Drink coconut water, rest well, and check again in the evening. Usually, it settles down without any issue.
I totally get it, when you feel slightly unwell even 99.1 makes you wonder if you are falling sick. Just take a warm bath and get an early night's sleep to feel better.
Haan, 99.1 is totally normal, na. Our body temperature goes up and down throughout the day anyway. Chill out, drink some juice and don't take any stress.
While 99.1 seems very low, please be cautious if you have underlying conditions. I once ignored a low temperature which turned out to be a severe kidney infection. Better to get checked if it persists.
