Is a 100.0 fever bad?

Question

I've been feeling quite ill since morning and just took my temperature. It's 100.0 F. Is a 100.0 fever considered bad, or is it still something I can manage at home without much worry?

Neha Bisht · Accepted Answer

I had a 100.0 fever last week. It's just a mild fever, so I just rested and took paracetamol as prescribed by my doctor, and it cleared up in two days.

Varun Malhotra · Answer

100.0 is not bad at all. Honestly, my temperature is probably higher just from staying up all night trying to sleep!

Anjali Gupta · Answer

A 100.0 temperature is a mild fever. With my thyroid condition, even minor fevers make me feel super sluggish, so please rest and see a doctor if it persists.

Rohan Kapoor · Answer

It is a very mild fever. Perfect excuse to have some hot, comforting dal khichdi and take a long nap.

Radha Devi · Answer

Do not worry, 100.0 is just a mild fever. Drink warm water and rest well, you will feel better soon.

Sonia Verma · Answer

I totally get it, even a 100.0 fever can make your whole body feel completely drained. Please take rest and look after yourself today.

Shaji Mathew · Answer

No, 100.0 is just a low-grade fever. Keep yourself hydrated and rest, it usually resolves on its own.

100.0 is nothing serious, man. I usually just drink water, take a nap, and it goes away.

Amit Sharma · Answer

It is a mild fever. Skip the gym today, but a light walk in the evening is fine if your doctor allows it.

Priyanka Das · Answer

100.0 is technically a mild fever, but I always get super anxious when it hits 100. Keep checking it, and see a doctor if you feel worse.
