Answers:

That is no way close ot being a fever!

Most people think of a "normal" body temperature as an oral temperature of 98.6F. This is an average of normal body temperatures.
Your temperature may actually be 1°F (0.6°C) or more above or below 98.6F. Also, your normal body temperature changes by as much as 1°F (0.6°C) throughout the day, depending on how active you are and the time of day.In most adults, an oral temperature above 100F or a rectal or ear temperature above 101F is considered a fever. A child has a fever when his or her rectal temperature is 100.4F or higher.

Hope this helped. :)
