Is Low Grade Fever Contagious To Others?
My daughter has a low-grade fever of 99.0. Is she contagious with a fever this low? She is supposed to have a playdate tomorrow with friends. She feels great, and the low-grade fever is her only symptom. She had a fever of 102 two days ago. Yesterday and today her fever has been 99.

Thanks for contacting HCM with you medical concerns.
You are concerned about your daughter having low grade fever of 99.0 She has no other symptoms then I would be reassured that she is not ill and does not have an infection. I think she can participate in play time without any concerns. If she does develop a fever higher then perhaps it would be good to keep her home for an additional day.
Hope I answered your question. Please contact us again with your medical concerns
