Not at all: 97 is a normal temperature when taken on the forehead. Is there a reason you are checking his temperature? Does he have some other symptoms you are concerned about? Temperature is just one vital sign among many, so wondering if there is/are other signs that lead you to believe he is I'll in some way. Write back with any other questions or concerns. But NO WORRIES about his temperature. ....
