In a child or an adult core (rectal) body temperature is the same: 98.5 plus or minus 1.8 degrees F. There is no direct or consistent correlation between rectal, oral, and axillary temperatures. Fever is generally defined as a temperature above 101 and a low grade fever is an archaic term. Bear in mind that you may have a life threatening infection and no fever and that a 'high' fever does not imply a more serious infection. Prior to the treatment of fever temperatures of 107 to 108 were commonly recorded. There is no good correlation between temperature and a 'fever seizure'. Studies on adults where the core body temperature was intentionally raised to and was maintained at 107 degrees did not result in harm of any kind. If you would like additional information please let me know.

40°C or 100° F. Technically, professionally, it is refered to as a 'temperature' or 'temp' for short. Some one might "spike a temp".
Great question!
