Is 99.9 a low grade fever?
I've been feeling slightly warm for a few hours, and my thermometer shows 99.9. Is this considered a low-grade fever, or is it still within a normal range for body temperature?

It is technically low grade, but keep monitoring. I once ignored a low fever like 99.9 which later turned out to be a severe infection, so please see a doctor if it doesn't go away.

Yes, it is low grade. When my PCOS flares up, my temperature often stays around 99.9. Rest, stay hydrated, and talk to your doctor if you feel uneasy.

It is low grade, but for safety, please monitor it. If it stays like this for more than 48 hours, it is always best to get checked by a doctor.

Yes, it is a very mild, low-grade heat. Drink some hot water with a little tulsi and ginger, and sleep early tonight. No need for heavy medicines.
