Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask A Doctor Service.

The normal body temperature is 37 degree celsius or 98.6 degree fahrenheit so fever typically means the temperature above the normal range which is not there in your case. Further, the significant fever which is considered trouble some is temperature above 38 so don't think excessively as it is just the feeling of having warm or hot body nothing else. Calm down, forget the episode and live your life normally.

Thank You
