Is a 100.2 fever bad?

My body is aching and I feel very warm. My thermometer shows 100.2. Is a 100.2 fever considered bad, like should I rush to a doctor or is it okay to wait and watch?

A 100.2 reading is considered a mild fever. Just take plenty of rest and keep yourself hydrated; no need to worry.

It is a mild fever, so don't rush for expensive doctor consultations or blood tests on day one. Just rest and monitor it.

I know how stressful it feels when you see the thermometer cross 100. But 100.2 is a very mild fever, so please try to relax.

100.2 is a mild fever. If you have any underlying health issues, make sure you eat simple diabetic-friendly meals and consult your doctor.

Keep a positive mind, your body is strong. 100.2 is just a minor fever, take rest and let yourself heal.

Is 100.2 very high? I just measured mine and feel a bit cold, should I take any medicine or just wait?

It is a mild fever. Just like monitoring my blood pressure, it's good to keep track of this, rest, and consult a doctor if it rises.
