A fever is a higher-than-normal body temperature, one of the body’s natural responses to infection. A low-grade fever isn't usually a cause for concern, but a temperature of 102°F and above should be treated. A fever is a higher-than-normal body temperature. It’s a sign of your body's natural fight against infection. The average normal body temperature is 98.6° Fahrenheit (or 37° Celsius). When you or your child’s temperature rises a few degrees above normal, it’s a sign that the body is healthy and fighting infection. In most cases, that’s a good thing. But when a fever rises above 102°F it should be treated at home and, if necessary, by your healthcare provider if the fever doesn’t go down after a few days.
