Fever is a term used for elevated body temperature. The medical term used for it is called pyrexia. For a healthy adult, the normal body temperature is 98.6° Fahrenheit or 37° Celsius. A low-grade fever is not considered a cause of concern because it eventually goes away on its own. But temperature above 102° F can indicate an underlying infection or disease. For newborn babies or infants, even a slightly elevated temperature should be considered.
