Is 100 f fever?

My baby feels warm, and the thermometer reads 100°F. I'm a first-time mom, so I'm not sure what to do. Is 100 F a fever for a baby?

Honestly, after pulling all-nighters, 100F feels like I'm melting. But yeah, technically it's a low-grade fever. My brain cells already feel fried, no need for actual fever to add to it. 😅

My amma always says anything above 99 is fever, but our family doctor usually starts treatment if it's consistently above 100. Always good to check with your own doctor once, just to be sure. Stay well!

Oh, mere saath bhi same hua tha! I saw 100F and completely freaked out. But then my doc said it's a very mild fever, sometimes just body heat. Just keep an eye on it, usually goes away with some rest. Don't worry too much!

Haan, 100F is considered a low-grade fever. It's not super high, but it means your body is fighting something. Drink lots of fluids and take rest. If it goes up or you feel worse, then definitely see a doctor!

Better to be safe than sorry, bhai. I ignored my low-grade fever once thinking it's nothing, and it turned into a bad viral. Even 100F is a sign. Please consult a doctor, especially if you have other symptoms.

Exactly what I had last month! The doctor told me anything above 99.5F is technically fever. 100F means your body is fighting something. Just take paracetamol if it bothers you and get good rest. Mine went away in 2 days.

Yes, 100F is a fever. It's a mild one, usually nothing to panic about immediately, but it warrants attention. Hydrate well and monitor your temperature. If it doesn't drop or goes higher, get medical advice.

Is it? Oh god, I had 100F last week and was so worried. Did anyone else feel really tired with just 100F or was it just me? I was also having body aches. Maybe it's just a general malaise. Hope you're okay.
