My 5 month old has a temp of 100.5 and has been crying on and off. what could this be? is it concerning?

Could be: You don't say anything about other symptoms such as sneezing or a runny nose. The fever is low grade and may just represent a virus. The baby should act normally when the fever is down. If there is irritability that persists, see you doctor.
