What is the normal body temperature of a baby

Patient's question:

Currently, the general situation is as follows: My little baby Xiao Bao is two and a half months old. Today at noon, I measured his temperature, which was 36.5 degrees Celsius. In the evening, it was 37.1 degrees Celsius. He is still feeding normally, and his mood is also average. When I touched the front of his forehead with my tongue, it wasn't hot, but I could feel warmth on the back of his neck. I'm not sure if it's because he got warm from being held or if he might be catching a cold.

Doctor's answer:

The temperature fluctuations of your baby's body are likely caused by two reasons leading to mild fever: one is possible teething, and the other is a low-grade fever caused by catching a cold! If your child has a sore throat, it is likely due to catching a cold, which is commonly referred to as a cold. You can use Xinbolin Granules three times a day, half a packet each time, dissolved in water. Drink more water and have some apple juice. Your child will recover in two or three days.
