A member asked:
For last 10 days or so i have noticed that my 8 years old son has fever around 99 f most of the time during day. there are no other symptoms at all. is this something to be worried about?

Normal: A normal axillary temperature for a child can vary from 97.8 to 99.5. If your child develops a fever over 100.4 then you should be looking for a source of infection (upper respiratory, skin, diarrhea, etc) Any temperature above 103.5 in a child is considered an emergency and should be seen in an ER.
