Patient's question:
The body temperature has risen somewhat. Just checked, it's about 36.7 degrees. Should it be normal now! Also, the red rash on the baby is gradually starting to fade, but it hasn't faded on the face yet. Should we still focus on taking the antiviral oral liquid? It's been taken for two days now, and the instructions say it's best not to take it for less than three days! Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Normal body temperature in children is usually between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius. The average temperature in spring, autumn, and winter is 36.6 degrees Celsius in the morning and 36.7 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. In summer, it is 36.9 to 36.95 degrees Celsius in the morning and 37 degrees Celsius in the afternoon. Diaper changes, post-meal activity, crying, excessive clothing, or high room temperature can temporarily lower a child's body temperature to about 37.5 degrees Celsius, or even occasionally to 38 degrees Celsius, especially in newborns or very young infants who are more easily affected by these conditions. The readings from armpit thermometers, oral thermometers, and rectal thermometers differ by about 0.5 degrees Celsius, with armpit thermometers giving the lowest readings and rectal thermometers giving the highest readings.
