The basal body temperature of a child is 36.9℃~37.5℃. Generally, when the temperature is more than 1℃ lower than the basal body temperature, it can be considered a fever. Low-grade fever refers to a temperature fluctuating around 38℃, while high fever is when the temperature is above 39℃. A fever lasting more than two weeks is referred to as a prolonged fever. The aforementioned basal body temperature refers to rectal temperature, which is measured from the anus. Generally, oral temperature is 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than rectal temperature, and axillary and neck temperatures are 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than oral temperature.Advice: Take some children's cold medicine and medication for absorption. If there is no improvement after taking them, please see a doctor. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child has abdominal distension and high fever?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
