Patient's question:
For over two months, my temperature has been between 37.2 and 38 degrees for three or four consecutive days. What could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Assistance needed: I want to ask what to do.
Doctor's answer:
The body temperature of a baby is normal if it is between 36.5—37.5. A fever is considered high if it is between 37.6—38.5.Advice: It is recommended to give the baby more water, avoid dressing them in too many clothes, and prevent overheating. Consuming some heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine can also be beneficial, such as Banlangen. Never give fever-reducing medication. Taking fever-reducing medication too early can interfere with the development of the child's immune system.
Children generally begin to develop immunity from their mothers around 5 or 6 months of age. At this point, the immunity they receive from their mother starts to increase, and their own immune system begins to form.
