How high is the baby's temperature considered a fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Children with a body temperature of 37.5-38°C have a low fever. If a child's body temperature exceeds 37.5°C, it is considered a fever. When reducing fever in children, physical cooling methods are generally preferred for temperatures below 38.5°C, such as increasing fluid intake and alcohol-free warm water baths. Medication-based fever reduction can have certain side effects on children.
