The body temperature of a baby may differ from that of an adult, which has resulted in many parents not being very familiar with the normal temperature of their baby. Therefore, after measuring the baby's body temperature, they often do not know if the measurement result is normal, such as measuring a temperature of 36.1 ℃. So, is 36.1 degrees Celsius considered low-grade fever for babies?
1. The body temperature of a baby is easily affected by environmental temperature and fluctuates. The main reason is that the baby's temperature regulation center is still developing, and the temperature regulation function is not perfect. Therefore, it will change under the influence of environmental temperature, but the fluctuation amplitude is usually not too large. If there is a slight increase or decrease in body temperature, as long as the baby's eating, sleeping, and mental state are normal, there are generally no health problems.
2. When measuring the temperature of a baby at home, an underarm thermometer is often used. The normal temperature range for a baby's underarm temperature is between 36 ℃ and 37.4 ℃, so measuring a temperature of 36.1 ℃ is not considered a low-grade fever. This is the normal body temperature of the baby, parents don't have to worry.
3. When measuring the temperature of a baby on a regular basis, if the armpit temperature is found to be above 37.5 ℃, it should be considered as a symptom of low-grade fever. At this time, it is necessary to frequently measure the baby's temperature, observe whether there is any further increase or change in temperature, and pay attention to keeping warm and strengthening feeding for the baby. If there is an increase in temperature, physical cooling or medication fever reduction measures should be taken for treatment.
