Is 100 a fever?
My child felt warm this morning, and the thermometer read 100 degrees Fahrenheit. I'm wondering if this counts as a fever. Is 100 a fever in kids?

For Celsius or Fahrenheit? If it's 100°F, it's a low-grade fever, but for Celsius, 100°C is boiling! Assuming Fahrenheit, it's a slight fever, but usually not something to worry about unless it's sustained or you have other symptoms. Keep hydrating and resting.

Yes, 100°F (37.8°C) is generally considered a low-grade fever. Keep an eye on it.

Hmm, 100 on the thermometer means you're definitely running a bit warm! Time to ditch the spicy food and maybe opt for some comforting dal-chawal or khichdi. And lots of warm liquids! Get well soon so you can enjoy your favorite snacks again!

For kids, anything above 99.5-100 (Fahrenheit) is usually considered a fever. For adults too, 100°F means you have a mild fever. Keep yourself or your child hydrated, give light food, and rest. If it rises or symptoms get worse, definitely consult the doctor. My kids often get this much.

Haan, 100 (Fahrenheit) is a fever, ekdum pakka. Thoda halka bukhar hai, but it means body is fighting. Drink garam paani, rest karo. Don't take it lightly, but don't panic also. If it goes higher, go see the doc.

I'm not a medical expert, but from my personal experience, a temperature of 100°F has always meant I'm starting to get sick. I usually take it easy, drink lots of water, and keep checking my temperature. If it goes up or I feel really bad, then I see a doctor.

Assuming you mean 100°F, yes, that's considered a low-grade fever. It usually means your body is fighting something off. Monitor it, stay hydrated, and rest. If it goes higher or you develop other symptoms, then consider seeing a doctor.
