Yaar, 100.9 F toh pakka fever hai bachchon ke liye. Actually, anything above 100.4 F is. Make sure they drink lots of water, and definitely call your pediatrician. It's better to be safe.

Yes, 100.9 F is a fever for kids. I usually try a cool sponge bath and some light khichdi. But for children, if the fever is persistent, or they seem very sluggish, or have trouble breathing, please don't hesitate to take them to the doctor.

My niece just recovered from a fever that started at 100.9 F! So yes, it's a fever for kids. Her mom gave her Tylenol as directed by the doctor, kept her comfortable, and made her sip on ORS. It took a couple of days to go down.

For kids, 100.9 F is a fever. Instead of rushing for expensive tests immediately, try simple steps first: age-appropriate fever medicine, plenty of fluids, and light clothing. If it doesn't respond or if other symptoms appear, then a doctor's visit and tests are necessary.
