What is a normal fever?

My child had a slight fever this morning, and I'm wondering if I should be concerned. What is generally considered a normal fever temperature in kids, or even for adults?

Bro, normal body temp is around 98.6°F (37°C). Anything above 100.4°F (38°C) is generally considered a fever. I usually just tough it out with some paracetamol and rest if it's not too high, but if it crosses 102-103, I'm straight to the doc. Don't mess with high fever.

Bhai, humara shareer ka normal tapmaan toh 98.6°F (37°C) hota hai. Agar isse upar 100.4°F (38°C) se zyada ho jaaye toh bukhar kehte hain. Zyada tez bukhar ho toh doctor ko dikhana zaroori hai. Thanda paani ki patti bhi kaam aati hai.

Normal body temperature is typically 98.6°F (37°C). A temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher usually indicates a fever. If you have a fever, it's best to rest and hydrate. Definitely no heavy workouts! If it's persistent or very high, a doctor's visit is needed to rule out any underlying infections and get back to being fit.

The normal body temperature is approximately 98.6°F (37°C). A fever is typically indicated by a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. During fever, it is very important to eat light, easily digestible vegetarian food like khichdi and drink plenty of warm liquids to keep hydrated. Avoid heavy or oily foods.

Normal body temperature is around 98.6°F (37°C). Anything above 100.4°F (38°C) is generally considered a fever. With PCOS, sometimes our bodies can react differently to illness, so it's good to be cautious. If you have a fever, monitor it and consult your doctor, especially if it's high or lasts long. Don't try to just 'wait it out'.

A 'normal' fever? Is that even a thing? 😂 My body just picks a random temperature and calls it a day. But yeah, usually anything above 100.4°F (38°C) means you're officially hot. And if you're like me, it means your plans for the day are cancelled, probably for a nap. Sleep is the best medicine, after actual medicine, of course!
