Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How should we deal with low body temperature in young children?Doctor's answer:
Hypothermia refers to a body temperature above 35°C. A baby's internal temperature regulation mechanism is not yet mature, so in places with lower temperatures, the baby's heat is lost quickly. Additionally, conditions such as hypoglycemia should be ruled out. Babies with low body temperature do not have particularly obvious symptoms, but the main symptoms include feeling cold, lack of energy, and reduced appetite. Therefore, it is advisable to lower the temperature of the baby's living environment, dress the baby in more clothes to keep warm, and feed the baby with high-sugar foods. If the condition does not improve, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination.
