Is 99.9 considered a fever in adults?

I'm an adult and I have a temperature of 99.9. My family doctor always said anything over 99 is a fever. Is 99.9 considered a fever in adults?

Yes, it is a low-grade fever. I have 99.9 right now and my body is shivering slightly, is anyone else experiencing this today?

Yes, it is a mild fever. My son just recovered from this; we just kept him hydrated and rested, and he was fine.

Yes, beta, 99.9 is a mild fever. Drink warm water, wrap yourself lightly, and rest. God bless you.

It is low grade. My body temperature gets slightly elevated with hormonal changes too, but please monitor it to be safe.
