Thanks!
As per my mothers docs, temp above 100.4 F is fever in medical terms.

My mother has had fever for last few weeks, during the course of the day it normally ranges between 98.8 F to 99.4. In June her temp crossed 100.4, so she was admitted in hospital and received Iv antibiotics, her temp returned to normal but after discontinuation of the oral antibiotic at home, it again climbed up into the 99's but stays under 100. All cultures prior to antibiotic and after discontinuation are negative. The internal medicine doc says it could be because of mds.
We don't know what's going on..hope it disappears soon as it's becoming a cause of great worry.

All the best
