When is fever?

Hey! Fever is usually when your temp is above 100.4°F (38°C) orally. Don't stress too much, mild fever is common. Just drink plenty of water, rest up, and take some paracetamol if needed. If it's really high or doesn't go away, then definitely call your doctor, okay?

Fever starts when your body temperature is generally above 100.4°F (38°C). Don't trust random 'home remedies' for serious fevers you find online. If it's high, lasts more than a couple of days, or you have other severe symptoms, you NEED to see a doctor. Get proper medical diagnosis and treatment, not internet guesses.

Fever usually kicks in when your body temp goes above 100.4°F (38°C). For me, it's also about how I feel, like body aches and chills.

For kids, anything above 100.4°F (38°C) is generally considered a fever. I always keep a thermometer at home. If it's mild, I give my child plenty of fluids and rest. But if it's very high, or they seem really unwell, I take them to the pediatrician right away. Don't take chances with kids.
