This depends on several other variables - what is the age of the patient (for a newborn this is dire while a teenager may be able to handle it better), what other symptoms of disease does the patient have, does the patient have any chronic or complicating medical conditions, etc?

In an otherwise healthy young adult human, a temperature of 102.7 is of concern but not necessarily a medical emergency - the person should be monitored closely by a healthy (non-fevered) adult for deterioration in the patient's condition.

What is the average underarm temperature for a 5 year old?

A child's body temperature is the same as an adult's body temperature. A normal oral temperature is 98.6 degrees. Forehead or underarm temperature is normally one degree less because it is more exposed to the air which results in less than a core-body temperature, so a normal forehead or underarm temp can be around 97.6. Note: A high underarm temp should be re-checked orally to confirm a fever. For example, if a forehead or underarm temp is 100.8, the oral temp is likely 101.8. Rectal temp is sometimes preferred to give a more accurate reading.
