Patient's question:
My baby at home has been having very high body temperature recently. I gave him a lot of fever-reducing medicine, but later it didn't work and something unexpected happened, causing his body temperature to drop very low. I want to know what to do if a child's body temperature becomes too low after taking fever-reducing medicine. The answer to this question is really important to me.Doctor's answer:
Usually, in clinical diagnosis, a normal body temperature is between 36 degrees and 37.3 degrees. You mentioned this situation, you need to retest with a mercury thermometer to verify the child's specific condition. Generally, fever-reducing medications for children are relatively safe, and it is rarely a problem to have a low body temperature again at this time. If the problem of low body temperature occurs multiple times, it is necessary to eliminate all external influencing factors.
