Is a child with a temperature of 37.5°C considered to have a fever?

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 37.5°C considered a fever for a child?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, it should be considered a symptom of low-grade fever. It is likely caused by a virus, so treatment should focus on antiviral medications. You can take children's Amiloride and Gentian Yellow Granules, Ribavirin, and other medications to relieve symptoms and maintain a calm mood.
There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
