Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Normal body temperature is between 36-37°C. A baby's temperature can fluctuate under certain circumstances. For example, after drinking water or milk, if the baby cries loudly for a long time, if the baby strains, if the room temperature is too high, or if the ambient temperature rises, the baby's temperature may increase by 0.5°C. Wait for half an hour to recheck the temperature, and it can return to normal. Measuring a baby's temperature with an rectal thermometer is more accurate. The temperature measured in the rectum should be reduced by 0.5°C. The temperature measured under the armpit should be increased by 0.5°C. The temperature measured under the armpit is not very accurate. Improper placement, a short measurement time, or excessive sweating can all affect the accuracy of the measured temperature.
