Babies have poor physical condition and their environment may change. They may catch a cold and experience symptoms of fever after being exposed to wind and cold. Parents want to know if their baby has a fever, not just because they feel their body is hot, but also because they have a fever. Based on body temperature to determine if there is a fever, is it normal for the baby's armpit temperature to be 37.5?
A baby's body temperature of 37.5 degrees is normal because their ability to regulate body temperature is not fully developed and their ability to control body temperature is poor, which can affect the baby's environment temperature. If the weather is hot or parents dress their babies too much, their body temperature may slightly increase, but it will not exceed 37.5 degrees. When the weather is cold or the baby is in an air-conditioned room, the body temperature may drop to 36 degrees or even lower.
Everyone's body temperature also changes throughout the day. After eating and exercising, the body temperature will rise, and the amount of activity is directly proportional to the increase in body temperature. To understand the body temperature, basal body temperature should be measured, which refers to the temperature measured when one has just woken up in the morning and has not yet woken up for physical activity. At this time, the body temperature is relatively low because the human body is at its lowest metabolic rate.
If the baby has a fever, parents can take physical cooling measures by first removing some of the baby's clothes and placing them in a well ventilated environment. Then apply a cold towel on his head, wait for the towel to warm up, and change it again. You can also pack the ice in a water bag and place it behind your head. Please note that it is not suitable for babies who are too young. When the temperature is too low, babies may not move and may be frostbitten.
