A low fever is any temperature under 102 degrees, a moderate fever is102 to 104 degrees, and a high fever is 104 degrees and over.

The well-known 98.6 degrees, is a normal temperature taken by mouth. An underarm temperature may be about one degree lower. A rectal temperature may be about one degree higher.

An oral temperature of 100 degrees just before bedtime may actually be normal. An axillary temperature of 99 degrees in the morning may be the start of a fever.” Anything over 100.4 degrees F is considered a fever.
