Patient's question:
My baby just turned one month old. Recently, I measured his temperature, and it felt very low—just over 35 degrees Celsius. I thought it was a bit abnormal, but I haven’t taken him to the doctor yet. I plan to go in the afternoon. What are the symptoms of low body temperature in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the time after a baby is born is very short. Because the body's temperature regulation center has not fully developed, if the baby's clothes and blankets are a bit thin, the baby may have low body temperature. As long as there are no other abnormalities in the body, it should not be a problem. The baby can be covered more warmly, drink more warm water, and continue to be observed for one or two days. If the situation remains the same, you can go to the hospital without worrying.
