A temperature of 38 degrees Celsius or above is considered a fever. Just like how I keep track of my blood pressure regularly, it is important to monitor your temperature with a digital thermometer when you feel unwell. If it stays high, please visit a doctor.

Our elders often suggest warm herbal drinks for body heat, but our family doctor says any reading of 38 degrees Celsius or above is a fever. We always trust the digital thermometer reading first. Please consult your physician if your temperature reaches this point.

In Celsius, 38°C is officially considered a fever. When I run a fever, I make sure to drink lots of coconut water and rest as much as possible. If your temperature goes above this, it's best to consult your doctor for guidance.

A fever is basically anything 38 C or higher. I had a viral fever last month and my thermometer showed 38.5 C, and I felt super weak. I just rested, drank lots of water, and took the medicine my doctor prescribed.

Hey there! In Celsius, 38°C is the official starting point for a fever. Make sure you get plenty of cozy rest, keep sipping on warm fluids, and check in with your doctor if it doesn't come down soon!

38 degrees Celsius is where the fever party officially starts! If your thermometer hits that, it is your body's way of telling you to cancel your plans and watch movies all day. Just keep an eye on it and call a doc if it gets too high.
