What temperature should a one year old have?

A normal body temperature for a one-year-old typically ranges from about 97°F (36.1°C) to 100.4°F (38°C) when taken with an oral thermometer. A fever is generally considered to be a temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. If a child has a fever or shows signs of illness, it's important to consult a pediatrician for guidance. Always consider the method of measurement, as temperatures can vary depending on whether they are taken orally, rectally, or with an ear or forehead thermometer.
