Is a body temperature of 37.3°C considered a fever for a seven-month-old child?

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 7-month-old child with a temperature of 37.3°C is considered a fever?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.
Hello, if the examination confirms pneumonia, you can use drugs like cefalexin or penicillin for intravenous treatment. Pay attention to daily care and avoid stimulating foods. Maintain a good diet and sleep schedule.
