Patient's question:
I measured the temperature under the child's neck and it was 38.6 degrees. So, what is the actual temperature of the child?Doctor's answer:
When babies eat, cry, or exercise, their body temperature may temporarily rise; if their clothing and bedding are too thick or the room temperature is too high, their body temperature may also increase slightly. If a baby has such temporary, small fluctuations in body temperature and is generally in good health, active, without other symptoms or signs, it is usually not necessary to consider it as a pathological condition.
