Is a child with a temperature of 35.5 degrees Celsius considered to have a fever?

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. Is 35.5°C considered a fever for a child?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to take necessary insulation measures immediately to quickly restore the child's body temperature to the normal range of around 36.7 degrees Celsius. If necessary, seek detailed examination and treatment in pediatrics. When administering antipyretic drugs in the future, use with caution. There are many triggers that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
