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 what temperature is considered a low fever for babies?Doctor's answer:
The normal body temperature of a baby is 36~37.2 Celsius under the armpit. A low fever refers to a temperature between 37.3-38 degrees. For general low fever, physical cooling methods are usually sufficient. Since the baby is quite young, it is recommended not to use medication for low fever. Instead, consider using some herbs that clear heat and purge the liver. Vitamin B12 and oryzanol tablets can also be taken to regulate the nerves. Employing methods to soothe the liver, strengthen the spleen, and calm the mind is advisable. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and do not use the eyes for long periods. Ensure reasonable rest, maintain a sleep schedule, and go to bed on time.
