Greetings, iam Tori Vargas, I hope today is better than yesterday.
Ah, a low grade fever - not the worst thing in the world, but still something to be aware of. It’s usually nothing serious, but it can be a sign of something more. So if you’re running a low grade fever, don’t just shrug it off - pay attention and take care of yourself! You know what they say: better safe than sorry!
Is 36.4 A Low-Grade Fever? [Solved]
Y’know, your body temp usually falls between 97.5°F and 99.5°F (36.4°C to 37.4°C). In the morning it’s usually lower, but in the evening it’s higher. If you’re at 100.4°F (38°C) or above, that’s considered a fever - anything between 99.6°F and 100.3°F is just a low-grade fever though!
Temperature: A low grade fever is defined as a temperature between 100.4°F (38°C) and 102°F (38.9°C).
Duration: Low grade fevers typically last for several days, but can persist for up to two weeks in some cases.
Causes: Common causes of low grade fevers include viral infections, bacterial infections, and certain medications or immunizations.
Symptoms: In addition to the fever itself, other symptoms may include chills, body aches, fatigue, headache, and loss of appetite.
Treatment: Generally speaking, low grade fevers do not require medical treatment unless they persist for more than two weeks or are accompanied by severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing or confusion/disorientation; in these cases medical attention should be sought immediately. For milder cases of low grade fever over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be used to reduce the fever and alleviate associated symptoms such as body aches and headaches; however it is important to follow the instructions on the package carefully when taking any medication in order to avoid potential side effects or interactions with other drugs/medications you may be taking at the same time
A low grade fever is when your body temperature is slightly elevated, usually between 37.2 and 38°C (99 and 100.4°F). It’s not as serious as a high fever, but it can still make you feel pretty lousy. You might experience chills, headaches, fatigue, and general aches and pains - yuck! If you have a low grade fever for more than a few days, it’s best to check in with your doctor just to be on the safe side.
