Beta, 99.3 is just a little heat in the body. Drink some warm milk with a pinch of turmeric or some herbal tulsi tea. If it goes up further, then consult a doctor.
99.3 is a very mild low-grade warmth. In my experience, taking a warm shower and staying hydrated helps cool the body down. If you have a headache, rest in a dark room.
As a pharmacist, I can tell you 99.3 is just a borderline temperature. No need for heavy medication, just take a simple paracetamol if you have body aches, and consult a doctor if it doesn't settle.
Look, 99.3 is barely a fever. Stop checking the thermometer every half hour, drink some water, and go to sleep. If you still feel bad tomorrow, go see a doctor.
Keep your mind calm and positive, our body has its own way of balancing itself. 99.3 is just a minor shift, maybe you are tired from work. Give yourself some peaceful rest and sleep well tonight.
