I’ve a temp of 99.5?

Author: admin

Is that considered a fever? Should I not go to school with that temp? I know it isn't high? But I’m just wondering school regulations

also random question havine taken a hot bath about 5 minutes ago change my temp even if water wasn't in my mouth?


Answer:
No it's actually considered a low grade temp. For some people it's normal. Like me for instance….my normal is 99.3. And yes….if you’ve taken a hot bath no matter if you had not put water in your mouth…it still will cause your body temp to rise. Wait about an hour after your bath. If you drank something hot…wait around 15-30 minutes.

Answer:
99.9 is considered a low-grade fever. With a temp of 99.5, you are fine. And yes, a hot bath will increase your body temp.
