No it is not. If you are less than 12 weeks old, 100.4 is a fever. If you are older; around 102 is considered a fever that requires tylenol or motrin. Over 104 is indicative of a bacterial infectin and should be evaluated for cause and antibiotic necessity. Over 107 is dangerous to the brain cells - they die. Viral temperatures run from 101-104 and can last 2-3 days. If anything else - see your doctor.

Nope. 98.6 is normal actually. Anything above 99 degrees would be considered a fever.

No 98.6 is normal and you shouldn't get worried until it gets to around 101 or so.

No. I believe that 98.6 is the generic "perfect" body temperature for humans.
