Patient's question:
My child is 1 year old. The temperature these days is 36°C. Is it considered a fever? I haven't been to the hospital. Is 36°C considered a fever?Doctor's answer:
Normal basal body temperature is between 36℃ and 37℃. Generally, when the temperature is 1℃ lower than the basal body temperature, it can be considered as feeling feverish. Among them, low-grade fever refers to body temperature fluctuating around 38℃, and high fever occurs when the body temperature is above 39℃. Some people may have a lower basal body temperature. Accurately measuring the baby's temperature is not necessary to worry about if feeding, sleeping, and other conditions are normal. It is vaguely remembered to prevent the child from getting cold, as low body temperature may be related to this.
