What is the normal range for a baby's axillary temperature? What is considered a fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is considered that the fever symptoms are caused by a viral infection. It is recommended that you undergo a complete blood count test to aid in diagnosis. If the antiviral effect is poor, you can appropriately use anti-inflammatory medication, which may be more effective. The characteristics of viral infection are that it tends to cause recurrent high fever. Viruses generally stop replicating within a week. There is no need to be too anxious. Drink more water and get adequate rest. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use a cold compress on your forehead for physical cooling. If the temperature is higher, you can use fever-reducing medication. Fever is a process, and if there are any abnormalities in your mental state or other symptoms, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
