What is the normal ear temperature for a four-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What is the normal ear temperature for a four-month-old baby?

Doctor's answer:

Because the body temperature of humans varies with age and the environment, the above values are not absolute but merely reference values. For 0 to 2 years old: 36.4°C ~ 38.0°C. Immediately move to a shaded area or air-conditioned room and provide physical cooling. For severely ill patients, rapid cooling is necessary. Wear ice hats, place ice packs on the head, administer intravenous compound chlorpromazine, correct water and electrolyte balance, prevent and treat complications, control infections, and take other emergency measures.
