How to Determine if a 3-Month-Old Baby Has a Fever

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are also spitting up milk. How can a 3-month-old baby be judged whether they have a fever?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's body temperature is normal if it does not exceed 37.5 degrees Celsius. A temperature of 37.5 degrees Celsius or higher indicates a fever, and a temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius or higher indicates high fever. During a high fever, you can take some fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to pay timely attention to the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
