Patient's question:
These past few days, the baby has been feeling a bit unwell. This morning, when I touched her forehead, it felt off, so I used a thermometer to check, and found it was only 36 degrees. What happens if a child has a low body temperature?Doctor's answer:
Low body temperature in children is mainly caused by sweating after feeling hot and an underdeveloped body temperature regulation center. Temporary low body temperature does not significantly affect the child, so it is recommended to pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds. It is necessary to focus on medication for 2-3 days to prevent recurring fever. As for temporary low body temperature, it will gradually return to normal with the body's adjustment, usually within a week.
