Howdy, iam Jerome Ainley, Have a pleasant day.
Ugh, talk about a fever pitch! I’m talking 37.38°C and it’s not fun. I’m feeling pretty crummy right now, but at least I know that this too shall pass. It’s just one of those things - you never know when a fever is gonna hit you! But hey, if there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that rest and fluids are key to getting through it. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery!
Is 37 Or 38 A Fever? [Solved]
If you’re feeling hot, it’s probably a fever if your rectal, ear or temporal artery temperature is 100.4 or higher; your oral temperature is 100 F or higher; and your armpit temp is 99 F or higher.
Fever: A fever is a body temperature that is higher than normal. It is usually defined as a temperature of 37°C (98.6°F) or higher.
Causes of Fever: Common causes of fever include viral and bacterial infections, heat exhaustion, dehydration, and certain medications or medical conditions such as cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Symptoms: Along with an elevated body temperature, other symptoms may include chills, headache, fatigue, muscle aches and pains, loss of appetite and general discomfort.
Treatment: Treatment for fever depends on the underlying cause but may include rest, fluids to prevent dehydration and medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce the fever itself.
When to Seek Medical Attention: If your child has a fever above 38°C (100°F), seek medical attention immediately as this could be a sign of a serious infection or condition that requires treatment right away
A 37 38 fever is no joke! It’s a sign that something’s not right and you should get checked out. It’s usually a symptom of an infection, so don’t take it lightly. If you’re feeling under the weather, better to be safe than sorry - go see your doctor!
