What is the normal axillary temperature of a five-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The normal temperature for a baby should be between 36 and 37.3 degrees. The baby's temperature in the morning was 37.5 degrees, indicating that there is still a low fever. Medication should continue to be administered for treatment. The baby's fever is not related to medication; it is the body's response to fighting the virus. When the baby's temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication such as Tylenol. A lukewarm bath can be used to help the baby lower their temperature.
