No it is not fever if you have taken it in mouth. Actually the temperature measured in armpit is lower than the temperature in oral cavity (mouth) .
Next Steps
I would need more to know about symptoms to guide you further because fever has a lot of causes .

Normal temperature of human body is 98.6 F. Ideal temperature is measured by rectal route. Oral route is slightly less than rectal route.

According to definition of Fever - It's increase of 1 degree of temperature from the normal temperature as 98.6+1=99.6 F. You haven't fever from the oral route. You should measure the ideal temperature by rectal route.
