Child has a cold now, body temperature is 35.5°C, is it normal?

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. Could you please tell me if a temperature of 35.5°C is normal for a cold?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, it usually involves symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be adjusted by adding 0.5 degrees; if it exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever. Acetaminophen and Chlorpheniramine Granules can be used for treatment. Drink plenty of water and pay attention to keeping warm. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids can be administered for treatment.
There are many causes that can lead to respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
