Why is 37°C considered the threshold to say you have fever?
In: Biology
37-37.9 would not be considered febrile in my field (paramedic). Most people read 36.7 if measured oral but things like exercise, having a bath or just the time of day could mean you jump to 37-something. 38° and up we would consider definitely a fever because it is hard to happen in daily fluctuations.
