Patient's question:
The baby has been sick for the past few days and has been feeling lethargic. I initially thought it was just a cold, but after taking cold medicine for several days, there hasn't been much improvement. Even today, when I took her temperature multiple times, it showed low body temperature. So, I would like to consult a doctor about what to do when a child has low body temperature.Doctor's answer:
The case of low body temperature may be related to the baby taking cold medicine. Cold medicine often contains fever-reducing drugs, which could be a reaction to the medication. This situation does not require excessive concern. Drink more water, measure the baby's temperature frequently, every half hour. If the baby's mental state is stable, there is no problem. However, if the baby's mental state is very poor, it is necessary to go to the hospital for timely medical attention.
