“You can feel feverish without having a temperature, but you cannot clinically have a fever without a temperature above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit by mouth,” says Eric Ascher, D.O., family ...
Continuous fever is a type or pattern of fever in which temperature does not touch the baseline and remains above normal throughout the day. The variation between maximum and minimum temperature in 24 hours is less than 1°C (1.5°F). [ 1 ]
Febrile neutropenia or neutropenic fever is a defined as a single oral temperature value of ≥ 38.3 C (101 F) or a temperature ≥ 38 C (100.4 F) for ≥ 1 hour, with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500 cell/microliter. [1] In case of severe neutropenia, the ANC is < 500 cell/microliter. [1]
On the other hand, a "normal" temperature may be a fever, if it is unusually high for that person; for example, medically frail elderly people have a decreased ability to generate body heat, so a "normal" temperature of 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) may represent a clinically significant fever.
Signs and symptoms depend on if the febrile seizure is simple versus complex. In general, the child's temperature is greater than 38 °C (100.4 °F), [4] although most have a fever of 39 °C (102.2 °F) or higher. [6] Most febrile seizures will occur during the first 24 hours of developing a fever. [6]

An early morning temperature higher than 37.3 °C (99.1 °F) or a late afternoon temperature higher than 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) is normally considered a fever, assuming that the temperature is elevated due to a change in the hypothalamus's setpoint. [15] Lower thresholds are sometimes appropriate for elderly people. [15]
Around 10% to 30% of non-hospitalised people with COVID-19 go on to develop long COVID. For those that do need hospitalisation, the incidence of long-term effects is over 50%. [76] Long COVID is an often severe multisystem disease with a large set of symptoms. There are likely various, possibly coinciding, causes. [76]
