Brief Answer:
Definition of fever is temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum.
I can understand your concern.
Breathlessness is considered when patient is having rapid respiration while climbing stairs, walking fast or doing any exertion.
It will be there even if patient is not focusing on like while watching TV or talking to someone. If you can not complete full sentence, it is also considered as breathlessness.
And temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit is fever. Any temperature below 11 degree Fahrenheit is not fever.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
