Is 102.4 a high fever?

My young son's temperature just hit 102.4. I'm a bit concerned. Is 102.4 a high fever for a child?

Yes, 102.4 is quite high. As someone with BP issues, I've learned it's always best to get a doctor's opinion for anything above 101. Don't delay a checkup.

It can be really tough when you see a number like that, mentally it gets quite draining. Take it seriously, 102.4 is not something to ignore. Reach out for medical help, it's okay to feel overwhelmed.

I completely understand why you're asking, it's natural to feel worried with a temperature like that. I used to get so anxious. It's important to keep monitoring and consult a doctor, just to be safe.

Yeah, 102.4 is definitely a high temperature. No exercise or heavy activity with that kind of fever! Get rest, stay hydrated, and consult a doctor first. Only when they give the green light, can you think about light walks again.

Honestly, I used to panic at anything above 100, then realised sometimes bodies just react strongly. But 102.4 is on the higher side, so while not panicking, definitely get it checked out. Hydrate well!

With PCOS, I've learned our bodies can sometimes react differently to things. 102.4 is a significant temperature, so please don't take it lightly. A doctor can guide you best on what's happening.

102.4 is pretty high, yaar. Doctor visit is a must. If they suggest tests, try to get a clear idea of costs beforehand. Sometimes, clinics have package deals that save a bit.
