How is the body temperature of a baby who is more than nine months old?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what a baby's temperature should be at nine and a half months?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it is common to experience coughing, phlegm production, and fever. There is no need to add 0.5 degrees to the measured body temperature; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. Acetaminophen and chlorpheniramine granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water, pay attention to keeping warm, and intravenous fluids may be used for treatment if necessary.
There are many triggers that can affect a child's respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
