Babies have weaker resistance, so they are one of the people who are more prone to fever. And fever can be divided into low-grade fever and high fever, among which low-grade fever is difficult for many parents to distinguish, because they are not sure how much the baby's body temperature is low-grade fever, so it is easy to ignore the past when the baby has low-grade fever, which has a certain impact on the baby's body. So, how does a baby have a low-grade fever?
The normal body temperature of a baby is generally between 36-37.5 ℃. When the baby's body temperature rises to 37.5 ℃ but does not exceed 38 ℃, it is considered a low-grade fever. Low fever has a longer duration, although the body temperature is not as high as high fever, it is more difficult to reduce than high fever. If low fever persists for a long time, it can also affect the development of the baby's brain. So parents should not ignore their baby's low-grade fever.
There are many reasons that can cause a baby to have a low-grade fever, such as not drinking water in a timely manner after vaccination, the baby's growth in height, seasonal changes, etc. These are all causes of low-grade fever. Therefore, parents should always prepare a thermometer and some fever reducing drugs at home. When the baby's body temperature is abnormal, they can measure the baby's temperature in a timely manner to detect problems and solve them early.
Moreover, low-grade fever can also be reduced by some physical cooling methods, such as applying a damp towel to the forehead, giving the baby plenty of plain water, or directly giving the baby a warm bath. These are all physical methods that are beneficial for cooling down. During the period of low fever in babies, attention should be paid to their diet. They are suitable for consuming easily digestible and light food, which is beneficial for their recovery.
