Patient's question:
Hello, is a body temperature of 36.7-37 normal for a 1.5-year-old? Are there any good methods for treatment? Please give some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the issue you have raised is that the normal axillary body temperature ranges between 36°C and 37.2°C. A temperature above 37.3°C is considered a fever. Your current body temperature falls within the normal range, so there is no need to worry.As long as the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, there is no need to take oral fever-reducing medication. Encourage the baby to drink more water and monitor the situation first. Generally, there is no need to add 0.5°C, mainly to prevent the baby from experiencing a high fever seizure. Closely observe the temperature changes. If symptoms appear, then begin taking oral medication.
If the fever persists, it is recommended to go to the hospital for tests and receive intravenous medication treatment.
