Fever below 102 is not harmful as it is body's response to infectious agents. But with fever comes headache, bodyache and discomfort. Children especially will become very cranky, irritable, not want to eat, sleep, drink etc. So to reduce all these problems we reduce body temperature with medicine.
Older children do not need medicines for fever less than 100.
