Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what a normal body temperature for a 5-month-old baby is?Doctor's answer:
Measuring body temperature generally involves three common sites: the mouth, armpit, and rectum. Normal body temperature ranges from 36.9℃ to 37.9℃ in the rectum; from 36.7℃ to 37.7℃ in the mouth; and from 36.0℃ to 37. in the armpit. There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
