Patient's question:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with line breaks preserved as instructed:
"Lately, my boss has said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. It's not something I want to happen either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious, not feeling well. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask, what is a normal body temperature for a 6-month-old baby?"

Doctor's answer:

The normal basal body temperature of a healthy child is between 36.9℃ and 37.5℃. Generally, when the temperature exceeds the basal body temperature by more than 1℃, it can be considered a fever. Among them, low-grade fever refers to a temperature fluctuating around 38℃, while high fever is when the temperature is above 39℃. Fever lasting for more than two weeks is referred to as prolonged fever.
There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, assist with gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
