Is 101.6 fever bad?
My son has a temperature of 101.6 and he looks very pale. Is a 101.6 fever bad for a child, or is it manageable at home?

101.6 is definitely a fever. Whether it's 'bad' depends on your overall health, symptoms, and how long it lasts. It's always best to consult a medical professional for proper diagnosis and advice, especially if you have other underlying conditions or feel very unwell.

Bad? Yeah, it's bad, because it means no proper sleep for a few nights! 101.6 is a definite fever. Get some rest and Dolo. Hope you can actually sleep through it!

101.6 fever, ho na. Not ideal, but usually manageable. Just take good care, rest well, aur garm paani piyo. If it's not improving, then go to the doctor, don't ignore it too much.

101.6 is a fever. My first approach would be rest, paracetamol, and home remedies for a day. If it still persists, then I'd consider a doctor, because tests and consultations can really add up. Try to see if it resolves naturally first, if symptoms are mild.

Yes, 101.6 is a fever, and don't make my mistake of ignoring it. I thought it would pass, but it escalated quickly. Please, if you feel weak or it doesn't go down with simple medication in a day, consult a doctor. Don't take chances.
