What is the normal axillary temperature for a baby?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

The normal body temperature of a human being averages between 36 and 37℃ (armpit). If it exceeds this range, it is considered a fever. Below 38℃ is a low-grade fever, while above 39℃ is a high fever. Temperatures above 40℃ can be life-threatening at any time. The causes of fever are mostly infections, including bacterial infections, viral infections, and infections such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, and fungal infections. It can also be due to abnormalities in the body's temperature regulation center, abnormal skin heat dissipation, or the absorption of sterile necrotic substances.
