Is 100.4 a fever in kids?

My son, who is 6 years old, has a temperature of 100.4. Is this considered a fever in kids, or is it something I can manage at home with some basic care? He's a bit lethargic.

Oh, 100.4 for a kid? Definitely a fever! Time for some comforting khichdi or soft daal-chawal. Nothing spicy! Just gentle, easy-to-eat food to make them feel cozy. Hope they feel better soon!

Yes, for kids, 100.4 is a fever. Stay calm and positive. Give them love and warmth, lots of fluids, and don't hesitate to consult a pediatrician. Everything will be okay.

Ugh, yes 100.4 is a fever for kids. Means zero sleep for parents, right? Give them medicine and pray they sleep through the night so you can too! Been there, done that.

Yeah, 100.4 for a kid is def a fever. My younger cousin gets this sometimes. My aunt always gives him a light bath and medicine. Best to call the doc if it's a baby, though.

Haan, 100.4 baccho ke liye fever hai. Chinta mat karo, but be careful. Give them their medicine if the doctor prescribed, and sponge karo. Don't wait too long if it doesn't go down.

I can only share my experience with my child. When his temperature reached 100.4, our pediatrician said it's a fever. We gave prescribed medicine and kept him hydrated. Please talk to your child's doctor.
