How to use – One reliable app is the iThermonitor, which can be downloaded on either iPhone or Android devices. Using it, you can get a temperature on emergencies and other situations when you don’t have a thermometer.

With the right app, your Android smartphone or tablet can function as a thermometer using your device’s built-in temperature sensor. However, even if your mobile device is not equipped with a temperature sensor, there is still a way to get a decent temperature reading for the surrounding air.

Low-grade fever The medical community generally defines a fever as a body temperature above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. A body temp between 100.4 and 102.2 degree is usually considered a low-grade fever.

What’s the outlook? Most low-grade and mild fevers are nothing to worry about. However, you should call your doctor if you’ve had a fever for more than three days straight, or your fever is accompanied by more troublesome symptoms such as vomiting, chest pain, rash, throat swelling, or a stiff neck.

Infection symptoms that may occur along with low-grade fever Cough. Diarrhea. Fatigue. Muscle aches, joint aches, headaches, or earaches.

Fever reducers treat a symptom, not the cause of an illness, and lowering your temperature may get in the way of your body’s normal defenses and actually prolong the sickness. Generally, a fever on its own isn’t dangerous and there’s no real need to treat it.
