Is 38.5 a fever?
My daughter is a bit unwell today, feeling warm and sleepy. I checked her temperature and it's 38.5. Is this considered a fever in children, and what should I do? Ghar pe she's generally quite active.

Haan yaar, 38.5 toh fever hai, around 101.3 degree ho gaya na. Thoda rest karo aur zyada bhaag-daud mat karo abhi. Doctor ko dikha ke ek basic dawai le lo taaki badhe na.

Yes, it is a fever. I got so scared when my son hit 38.5 last month, but the doctor reassured me it's just a moderate fever and very common during season changes. Keep checking it, it usually settles with normal medicine.

Yes, it is a moderate fever. Keep your mind peaceful and don't worry too much. Let your body take rest and heal with patience and quiet contemplation.

Bro yes, 38.5 is a proper fever. I had this during exams last semester and felt totally wiped out. Skip college tomorrow, take some paracetamol, and just sleep it off.

Yes, 38.5°C is definitely a fever (101.3°F). My smart watch caught my resting heart rate spiking when I had this temperature. Keep logged in your health app, track the readings, and rest well.

Yes, it is. When my temperature reached 38.5, I felt so weak and anxious, honestly I even cried because of the body pain. It is completely okay to feel miserable, just take a doctor's advice and take it easy.
