Patient's question:
This morning, my son (8 years old) measured his temperature below 4 times, with three readings below 35 degrees and one reading at 36.5 degrees. In the afternoon, he was measured three times, with two readings at 35.4 degrees and another at 35.2 degrees. What does this condition indicate? What should be done? In the past week, the child has had a fever, with the highest temperature exceeding 40 degrees. He was hospitalized for 4 days with intravenous fluids, and his temperature was below 38.5 degrees, with additional ibuprofen administered.Doctor's answer:
Did the child take fever-reducing medicine yesterday? Low body temperature may be due to excessive sweating after using antipyretic drugs. Currently, the body temperature is above 35 degrees. If the child is in good spirits, there is no need to worry. Pay attention to keeping warm. Generally, the body temperature will return to normal within the next one or two days. The above is advice on the question "What should I do if my son (8 years old) has a low body temperature measured more than 4 times?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
