Is a body temperature of 37°C considered a fever in adults?

A body temperature of 37°C in adults is not considered a fever; the normal adult body temperature ranges from 36°C to 37°C. However, this does not entirely rule out the possibility of fever. First, monitor for changes in body temperature: an elevated temperature likely indicates fever. A fever below 38°C is classified as low-grade fever, while one above 38°C is considered high-grade fever. Ensure adequate fluid intake. For low-grade fever, physical cooling methods—such as applying a cooling patch or a cool, damp towel to the forehead—may be used. In cases of high-grade fever, seek medical attention promptly.
