Is 39 c a fever?

My son is feeling quite hot and lethargic. We just took his temperature and it's reading 39 degrees Celsius. Is 39 C considered a fever for a child, or is it more serious? My wife is worried.

Yes bro, 39 C is a proper high fever (around 102.2 F). Stop all workouts, focus on basic hydration like coconut water, and rest up completely till the doctor clears you.

Yes, 39 C is a high fever. Keep your mind calm, pray, and take care of your physical frame. Please consult a doctor soon to help your body recover its natural balance.

Yes, 39°C translates to 102.2°F, which is a high fever. It is highly advisable to seek professional medical advice rather than trying to manage this at home.

Bro, 39 C is definitely a high fever. I had this during viral season and was shivering like crazy. Don't wait around, just go see a doc and get the right meds.

Yes, 39 C is high. I am running this temperature right now and my heart is beating so fast. Is this normal or should I go to the emergency room?

Yes, it is a high fever. Eat very light, warm foods like vegetable broth or double-boiled rice water. Make sure to consult a doctor immediately to check the cause.

Yes, 39 C is a high fever. I felt so helpless and cried from the body aches when I had this. It is really tough, so please take care and get medical help.

Yes beta, 39 C is a high temperature. You can use a clean cloth soaked in normal water to wipe your forehead and limbs, but please visit a doctor today itself.
