Is an axillary temperature between 37-37.5 degrees normal?

Patient's question:

A girl was born 48 days ago. We have observed her temperature for two weeks. Her armpit temperature has been between 37 and 37.5 degrees Celsius. In the meantime, she had a cold and a stuffy nose. Actually, her nose breathes out warm air.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever. The most common cause is infection (including various bacterial infections, viral infections, mycoplasma infections, etc.), followed by connective tissue diseases (also known as collagen diseases), malignant tumors, and so on. Fever has both benefits and harms to the human body. During fever, the immune function of the human body is significantly enhanced, which is beneficial for clearing pathogens and fever
