A member asked:

My son is 16 months old and has a temp of 100.1 and has yellow boogies coming out and maybe teething, should i be concerned with his temperature?

Don't panic: While that temperature is considered a very low grade fever, it is not by any means dangerous. Your body makes a temperature to fight off germs, both bacteria and virus, that cause infections. The fever actually helps your immune system work better. Keep your child well hydrated, as a temperature causes you to need more fluids. See doc in next few days if fever doesn't go away or other symptom.

No: Make sure he is well hydrated and he should be fine after a few days. If temp spikes contact your physician.

Probably not: Teething can cause a low grade fever (100.7f or less) but it should not last for more than a few days. Consider his other symptoms and you may want to consult his pediatrician.
