For the past 2 days, I have not been feeling well and I am 98.5 F. Is this a fever for me?

Hello,

Although it is higher than your normal temperature, 95 F (or 36.9 Celsius) is not considered a fever. In fact, when taken by mouth, a fever is equivalent to a temperature above 99.5 F (or 37.5 Celsius). However, it is possible that your body is fighting an infection at the moment, which explains your fatigue.
