Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? Why is the body temperature too low after taking Motrin?Doctor's answer:
Hello. After the child took Motrin, their body temperature dropped, which could be due to an excessive dosage of the medication. Alternatively, excessive sweating after taking the medicine may have caused the low body temperature. The baby's body temperature is 36 degrees, which is within the normal range and does not indicate hypothermia. It is only necessary to keep an eye on the child for warmth and ensure they drink plenty of fluids. Generally, the body temperature should return to normal within two to three days. If the child's body temperature is too high, it is important to promptly investigate the cause of the fever and avoid overusing fever-reducing medications.
