Patient's question:
Just born, and now it's quite cold. I feel like my baby's temperature is quite high. I measure his temperature every day, and it's almost always above 37 degrees. I'm quite upset. Why is my baby's temperature so high? What kind of assistance would you like: Is the baby's temperature naturally higher after birth, and what is considered normal?Doctor's answer:
General newborns have a slightly higher body temperature than adults because their temperature regulation center has not fully developed. A normal body temperature for newborns is between 36.5-37.5 degrees Celsius. The baby's body temperature may temporarily drop after defecation, crying, or movement. If the baby is overclothed or the room temperature is too high, their body temperature may also drop significantly. As long as the baby is generally doing well and is in good spirits, there is no need to worry. A baby with a high fever will have a series of reactions. Dads and moms should pay close attention.
