Every child is a little angel in the family, bringing a lot of laughter and joy to the family. However, little angels can also fall ill, and a child's illness often affects the hearts of their parents and elders. Especially when a child has a fever, the family members feel even more uncomfortable, fearing that if the child's fever persists and does not subside, it will damage their brain. When a child has a fever, parents must remain calm and take different measures to deal with high and low fever. Today, the editor will take parents to learn how to take care of their little ones when their palms are hot and their body temperature is 37.8.
What is the condition of a baby's palm heat and body temperature of 37.8
In general, the fluctuation range of a baby's basal body temperature is 36.9 ℃ to 37.5 ℃. When the body temperature exceeds the basal body temperature by more than 1 ℃, it can be considered as fever. Among them, those below 38 ℃ belong to low-grade fever, while those above 39 ℃ belong to low-grade fever.

From this, it can be seen that because children have a strong metabolism, parents do not need to worry excessively when their baby's palm is hot and their body temperature is 37.8, and they should not blindly use antipyretic drugs.
