What constitutes a fever?

[TreesFallintheWoods]

Assuming using an ear thermometer, I’ve heard low grade is 37.4 C and over. A high temperature is 38.0 C and over. Is this correct?
Thanks. :)

Have a look at the guidance on the NHS website. Apparently it's all peer reviewed so is a trusted source.

Thanks. It’s mostly aimed at children though and I’ve read conflicting info. I’ll look again

37.8 and over is high

An adult fever is 37.8 or over. so I've been told by a nurse one time. Children's is 37.5 or over.

Human normal body temperature ranges between 36.5 and 37.5

You probably need to be clearly above 37.5 before anyone wouid consider it a fever at all, even if you know that your 'normal' is at the low end of the typical range (and most people don't know their individual normal at all).

Pretty sure it's 37.5 +. I feel crap if it goes over this with illness

Don’t eat thermometers measure low? Or have they improved since I last looked into it?
