What counts as a fever?
Feeling a bit unwell, and my head feels heavy. I checked my temperature, but I'm always confused about what exactly counts as a fever.

It's totally okay to feel a bit anxious and want to know for sure! For most adults, a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher is generally considered a fever. Don't stress too much, just keep an eye on it.

Honestly, if your temp is 100.4°F (38°C) or above, it's a fever. I once ignored a low-grade one thinking it was nothing, and it got much worse. So please, if you're not feeling well, get it checked by a doc.

For adults, a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher usually indicates a fever. If you have any underlying conditions like high BP, a fever can be more concerning. Always monitor it closely and consult your doctor.

A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or more is typically a fever. For mild ones, we used to do tulsi ka kadha. But if it's high or persistent, always see a doctor. Better to be safe than sorry, mere paas bhi hota rehta hai.

Generally, 100.4°F (38°C) and above is a fever. When you have one, focus on light, sattvic food. Warm, clear broths or dal ka paani are good. Avoid anything heavy or overly spicy to aid recovery.
