Question:

in fahrenheit.

Answers:
99.5 starts a low grade temperature. Once you hit 101, then you start to feel pretty miserable.

Other Answers:
i guess 100 and over

100

normal is 98.6 to have a low grade fever it wold be 99.

a serious fever is 100 degrees or over, although if you have 98/99 or wahtever and other serious symptoms (vomiting, fierce cough, dizzyness, etc.) you should get it checked out.

Above 98.6, which is the average body temperature.

Once you reach about 100 degrees F you should watch out.

my mom used to bea nurse so she says 99.5 and above. if you get above 103.5 you should consult your docter. that could mean you are really sick

You can be sick and have a normal temperature..i.e. cold, upset stomach, etc.

99 and above, sounds like someone is trying to skip school. put the thermometer in warm water not near a light bulb hahahah

You've got a few answers there, so now you can tell your mom that you have a fever and get the day off school.

99 is ok, and i think you can still go to school/work and stuff, but 100 and over you should stay in bed.

I think it's different for everyone. For me, I don't run a normal temperature of 98.6 degrees F. I run 97.5 - so for me, being "sick" is around 99.5 whereas for most people I believe it's 100 and above.

anything over 99 would be considered sick and anything over 101 is potentially seriously dangerous, and 95 and below is considered hypothermia
