Is 100.6 a fever in kids?

My son, he's 4, is feeling quite warm. We measured his temperature and it's 100.6. Is 100.6 a fever in kids, or should I wait to see if it goes up?

Yeah, 100.6 is a fever for kids. My little cousin gets it sometimes. My aunt usually gives him medicine and keeps him hydrated. Best to check with a pediatrician, though.

My son just had 100.6 last week! The doctor said it's a fever, gave paracetamol, and advised lots of fluids. It went down quickly. Don't worry, just follow pediatrician's advice.

Yes, 100.6 is a fever in kids. It's always a bit scary when kids get a fever. Make sure they're comfortable and hydrated, and it's best to call their doctor for advice.

Oh, 100.6 for a kid, that would make me so worried! Yes, it's definitely a fever. Does anyone else feel super anxious when their child has a fever?

For kids, 100.6 is a fever. You should directly call your child's pediatrician. Don't rely on online advice for children; always get clear instructions from your trusted doctor or hospital.
