When is a fever a fever?

Bete, usually when the body feels hot to touch and the thermometer shows more than 99.5-100 degrees Fahrenheit, it's a fever. For mild fevers, a cold compress and some rest, maybe tulsi ka kadha, can help. But if it's high, please consult a doctor.

For someone like me with diabetes, we have to be extra careful. A temperature above 100.4°F is definitely a fever. I always check my sugar levels too when I have one, as illness can affect them. It's best to track and consult your doctor.

My smart thermometer connects to an app, and it flags anything over 38°C (100.4°F) as a fever. Below that, it's considered elevated but not typically a fever. Always trust the digital reading, not just your hand on the forehead!

I learned the hard way not to guess. A fever is properly defined as 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. I once thought it was just a slight temperature, but it turned into something worse. Always use a thermometer and don't hesitate to see a doctor if it persists.

I was also confused about this. So, it's really about that specific temperature, like 100.4°F? What if it's like 99.8°F and I feel really sick? Is that still not a fever?
