Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what is considered a normal body temperature for a child?Doctor's answer:
Children's body temperature is slightly higher than that of adults. The average body temperature of children: 36.6℃ in the morning, 36.9℃ in the afternoon. It has been found that some children's armpit temperature is above 37℃, especially more common in summer, accounting for about 50%. Through observation, some children with temperatures above 37℃ have been followed up for a long time without any disease being found. Therefore, temperatures below 37.5℃ are normal. Your condition may be caused by internal heat, which is related to the regulation of internal organ qi and blood in the body and is not a very serious illness. It is recommended to use Qingwei San (Purifying Stomach Powder) with modifications for treatment.
