Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is 37.2°C considered a fever?Doctor's answer:
The normal armpit temperature of a healthy person is 36 to 37 degrees Celsius, while oral temperature is 0.2 to 0.4 degrees higher than armpit temperature, and rectal temperature is 0.3 to 0.5 degrees higher than oral temperature. There are many factors that can cause respiratory problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
