What is the normal body temperature of a newborn who is ten days old?

Patient's question:

What is the normal body temperature of a newborn baby who is ten days old? Last night, I noticed her face was a bit red, so I checked her temperature, and it was 37.5°C. Is that a fever? She also vomited milk. In the morning, I checked her temperature again, and it was 37.1°C, which is lower than before, and she vomited milk again. Could it be that she caught a cold after being taken out for a bath yesterday? Her nose is a bit stuffy, like she has a cold. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the normal body temperature of a healthy baby is between 36 degrees and 37.3 degrees. If it's 37.5 degrees, the body temperature is relatively high. It is recommended to maintain a good mood. At the same time, if the baby is slightly spitting up milk, it is suggested to burp the baby after each feeding before putting them down. This is the entire introduction to "What is the normal body temperature of my newborn baby who is 10 days old?" Finally, we wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
