Patient's question:
Why does a baby's temperature rise when they cry? Do they need to be treated at the hospital? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Because when a child cries, blood flow accelerates, so body temperature rises significantly. An elevated body temperature in children is not necessarily abnormal, which means that the temperature rise does not always indicate a fever. Children's body temperature may also rise after normal physiological activities such as crying and breastfeeding, because normal physiological activities like crying and breastfeeding generate more heat in the muscles, leading to a temperature increase. However, the range of the temperature rise is between 37.5 to 38 degrees Celsius, and it quickly returns to normal after the activity stops.
