    I would consider it a low grade fever.  Is LO acting ok?  If so, I'd give some tylenol and send him to school.  I'd keep my LO home for anything over 100.

    Technically no, it is not a fever and I would send him to school.  I might give Tylenol if I thought it had the potential of turning into a fever based on his behavior and any other symptoms.

    ETA from WebMD:  A child has a fever when his or her rectal temperature is 100.4?F (38?C) or higher.

    Yes. It's low grade. Usually school or daycare won't take them if it's above 100.  I would just give tylenol and see if it drops..

    DS1's "normal" temp has always been around that so no biggie for us. Yes, I'd still send him.

    Not a fever.  Like a previous poster said, it is not a fever until it is over 100.4.  My DS's normal temp is anywhere from 99.0 to 99.9.  I would absolutely send my child to school.

    It's actually not recommended to give pain medicine for fevers unless the child is uncomfortable.
