Is 37.1 degrees a fever?

37.1 degrees can be a normal body temperature (oral thermometry), or it can be a fever or a physiological temperature increase (axillary thermometry), which needs to be analyzed specifically. 1. Usually we measure body temperature in two ways, one is to measure the armpit temperature, the normal temperature is 36~37℃; one is to measure the oral temperature, the normal temperature is 36.2~37.2℃. 2. For oral thermometry, 37.1 degrees is within the normal range and is considered normal body temperature. 3. For axillary thermometry, 37.1 degrees is higher than the normal body temperature level, which may be a fever or a physiologic increase in body temperature. Fever is most commonly associated with infections, such as bacterial and fungal infections, etc. Physiologic elevation of body temperature refers to the elevation of body temperature that occurs when we are eating, exercising, or during menstruation, etc., with no other discomforts. A temperature of 37.1 degrees needs to be measured according to the way it is measured and your own condition to determine whether it is a fever or not. It is recommended to retake the temperature after half an hour to one hour, and if you feel unwell, you need to consult a doctor in time.
