Patient's question:
I measured the temperature under the child's neck and it was 38.6 degrees. So, what is the actual temperature of the child?Doctor's answer:
Babies' body temperature may temporarily rise after eating, crying, or exercising; if they are over-wrapped or the room temperature is too high, their body temperature may also increase slightly. If a baby has temporary, small fluctuations in body temperature and is generally well, lively, and shows no other symptoms or signs, it is usually not considered pathological.Newborn diseases can harm children, so mothers must take their children to a doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to closely monitor their child's condition and provide as much support as possible to ensure timely treatment for the illness.
