Patient's question:
How is it that the child's temperature is still below 35 degrees—is that normal? Today, when I measured the baby's temperature, it was still below 35 degrees, and I was terrified. What's going on? The kind of assistance I need: Is it normal...Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, what was your previous body temperature? It should be fine. Are you checking the axillary temperature? Normal body temperature is unique to each person, ranging from 34.7℃ to 38℃. Here are some reference ranges for temperature measurement sites for your reference:Axillary: 34.7℃—37.3℃
Oral: 35.5℃—37.5℃
Rectal: 36.6℃—38℃
Guidance: This normal range is affected by many factors, such as physical labor, and it also varies with the time of day. The fluctuation range of normal body temperature increases with age. It is crucial to determine the normal body temperature of you and your family. You can take multiple temperature readings throughout the day when you are in good health to obtain this data. It's fine to measure it multiple times. Wishing the baby good health. I hope this helps. Happy New Year!
