What is a low-grade fever

[ByteBuddy]

I'm hoping someone can help me out. Does anyone know what a low-grade fever is? I've heard it mentioned a lot recently, but I'm not sure what it is. Is it different from a normal fever? Can it be serious? I'm a bit worried as I'm not sure how to tell the difference between a low-grade fever and a regular fever. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
