Is there a problem with a large difference in body temperature between morning and evening?

Patient's question:

The girl's armpit temperature was around 36.5 in the morning, and from afternoon to evening, it was between 37.1 and 37.3.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, when the baby's fever is above 38.5°C, it is generally considered appropriate to take fever-reducing medication, such as Chaihu Granules, Zaixin, or Motrin, which are all quite effective for reducing fever. However, considering the baby's relatively low resistance at this time, if the fever does not exceed 38°C, it is best not to take medication. Physical cooling methods can be used for treatment, such as applying diluted alcohol to the baby's palms and soles, or using a cool towel to cover the baby's forehead. Additionally, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
