Is a temp of 100 a fever?
My grandson has been feeling a bit warm today. I checked his temperature, and it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Is a temperature of 100 considered a fever for a child? I'm always confused about the exact numbers.

Haan beta, 100 degree temperature matlab halka bukhar toh hai hi. Gaon mein hum log isko bukhar hi bolte hain. Turant garam paani pio, thoda aaram karo. Agar zyada ho toh doctor ko dikhao.

Haan, 100 toh definitely fever hi hai na. Light fever bol sakte hain. Normal body temp 98.6 ke aas paas hota hai. So, if it's 100, take some rest, maybe a Crocin. Agar badhe toh doctor ko dikhao, haan.

Yes, it is. Don't dismiss it. I once thought 100 was 'just a little warm' and it quickly escalated. Any temperature above the normal range (98.6°F) is a fever. It means your body is reacting. Always monitor it, and if it goes up or you feel worse, see a doctor. Don't ignore it like I did.

Yes, 100°F is considered a fever. As someone with thyroid issues, I know how easily body functions can get affected. Even a low-grade fever indicates your body is fighting something. Keep a check on it and if it doesn't go down or other symptoms appear, definitely consult your doctor. Regular monitoring is key.

Yes, 100°F (or around 37.8°C) is generally considered a low-grade fever. It means your body is fighting something. I'd definitely take it easy, no heavy workouts. Maybe a light walk if you feel up to it, but listen to your body and consult a doc if it persists or gets higher.
