Is a newborn's body temperature of 37.3 considered a fever?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask if a newborn's body temperature of 37.3 is a fever.

Doctor's answer:

Children can be treated with children's cold medicine, ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, and Qingkailing granules. If the fever persists, alcohol bathing can be used for treatment. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using small advertisements for medication. It is necessary to use medication rationally. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to help them receive timely treatment for the illness.
