Is 99.1 a fever for a child?

Understanding Fever in Children

A temperature of 99.1°F is generally considered to be within the normal range for a child, and it does not typically qualify as a fever. The standard threshold for fever in infants and children is usually recognized as 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. However, it's always important to monitor how the child is behaving and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
