A fever of 99.7°F (37.6°C) is generally considered low-grade. Many schools have specific guidelines regarding illness and attendance. Common recommendations suggest that students should stay home if they have a fever of 100°F (37.8°C) or higher, especially if they are exhibiting other symptoms.
It's essential to consider how your child feels overall, whether they have any other symptoms (like a cough, sore throat, or fatigue), and to follow your school's policy regarding illness. If in doubt, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider.
