What’S A Low-Grade Fever? [Solved]
If your temperature is hovering around 100.4 degrees, you might have a low-grade fever. Don’t panic though - it’s not necessarily something that needs to be treated with medication, according to Dr.
Definition: A low grade fever is a body temperature that is slightly elevated above normal, usually between 100-102°F (37.8-38.9°C).
Causes: Low grade fevers can be caused by a variety of illnesses, including the common cold, flu, and other viral infections.
Symptoms: In addition to an elevated temperature, other symptoms may include chills, fatigue, headache and body aches.
Treatment: Generally speaking, low grade fevers do not require medical treatment and can be managed with rest and over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce discomfort and fever symptoms if needed.
Prevention: To help prevent the spread of infection that can cause low grade fevers it is important to practice good hygiene habits such as washing hands regularly and avoiding contact with people who are sick or have recently been exposed to an illness
Low grade fever is when your body temperature is slightly elevated, usually between 99-100.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s not a huge cause for concern, but it can be a sign of an underlying issue. If you’re feeling under the weather and have a low grade fever, it’s best to get checked out by your doctor just in case. Don’t wait too long though - better safe than sorry!
