Parents often worry about this, but brain damage from a fever is extremely unlikely. It's not unusual for a sick toddler to run a temperature of 104 or even 105 degrees F. Although fevers over 106 degrees are very unusual, unless a child is trapped in a hot place or overdressed, most children can tolerate a temperature of slightly greater than 107 degrees F without long-term effects from the fever itself.
Kids whose temperatures are lower than 102° Fahrenheit (38.9° Celsius) often don't require medication unless they're uncomfortable. There's one important exception to this rule: If you have an infant 3 months or younger with a rectal temperature of 100.4° Fahrenheit (38° Celsius) or higher, call your doctor or go to the emergency department immediately. Even a slight fever can be a sign of a potentially serious infection in very young infants.
If your child is between 3 months and 3 years old and has a fever of 102.2° Fahrenheit (39° Celsius) or higher, call the doctor to see if he or she needs to see your child. For older kids, take behavior and activity level into account. Watching how your child behaves will give you a pretty good idea whether a minor illness is the cause or if your child should be seen by a doctor.
See a health care professional without delay if there is any fever accompanied by a skin rash, regardless of age.
101-102 is moderate 102-104 is severe 104-105 is dangerous
Anything 1.5 and more degrees over the normal body temp. Lower is fine. (only a little lower)
99 degrees or higher.

well the average body temperature is 98.6 but some people have a high body temp so roughly 99 or higher.
is 100.6 a high temp for a 5 year old

Could definitely be time to take her back to the doctor. Fast !
You usually have to be sick to have a high fever...

The average human temperature is 98.6 f. He/she is not having a fever though. I think he/she is okay.
a warm bath with baking soda worked very well for my son.
You can use either "5 years old" or "5-year-old" ex. Brian is 5 years old. ex. Brian is a 5-year-old.

The record for a 12-year old girl is 5 feet, 6 inches.
If you're talking about a fever, then you have entered into the caution zone. He probably won't be harmed, but keep an eye out that it doesn't rise anymore. Make sure you keep a cool wet cloth on his or her forehead, it helps (though you're probably already doing that)
No, 5 ft 5 inches is not short at all for a 14 year old.
The normal IQ for a 5 year old should be no different to that of an adult. The test would simply be adjusted to suit a 5 year old.
