Is 99.9 a fever?

My body temperature is 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit. Is this considered a fever? I'm feeling a little under the weather but not terribly sick.

Yes, it is a very mild low-grade fever! No need to panic at all. Just take a relaxing day off, drink your juices, and you will be back to normal soon.

I had 99.9 last month when I was working late nights. It is technically a borderline fever, usually caused by fatigue or a minor bug. Just sleep early tonight and see how you feel tomorrow.

I am not a doctor, but whenever my thermometer shows 99.9, I just consider it a sign that my body needs rest. I usually avoid taking any paracetamol unless it crosses 100.

I was actually reading up on this because I felt warm too. Apparently, doctors say 99.9 is just on the edge of a low-grade fever, but not dangerous. Let's see if anyone else has more info.

With 99.9, I say cancel all plans and order some hot tomato soup. It is a very mild fever, so eat something light and comforting and enjoy some rest.

Bro, 99.9 is just basic tiredness. I get this during exam week all the time. Don't worry, just sleep for 8 hours and it will vanish.

It is a mild fever. I always take warm water with honey and basil leaves when I feel this way. But if you get chest pain or heavy shivering, please see a doctor.
