A. yes it would be considered as fever. you must give one fose of paracetamol to avoid any rise in temperature. also if fever recurs you must consult a pediatritian immediately

A. Hello ma’am Yes it is only considered fever because it is in fact I would say more appropriate than the oral thermometer so you can go for giving the medicine to the child

A. outer body temperature differs from inner ear temperate, since I cannot consider them the same I had to ask what should the inner ear temperate be. it can show 100F on the oral thermometer but a different temperature on the ear thermometer. Say if someone does not have access to an oral thermometer and has to use the digital ear temperate what will be considered a fever.

A. Hello ma’am If it is 99.4 at any side whether it is under arms in the year or anything it is fever only so I would advise you to start giving paracetamol to your child because till 99.4° fahrenheit it is considered normal not fever but if it crosses that Mark it is the considered fever so give a medicine to your child and if needed consult your paediatrician
