Do you know what the body temperature of a three-year-old baby is for low-grade fever? Let's take a look together.

  

What is the body temperature for a 3-year-old with low-grade fever1

  A child's body temperature is slightly higher than that of a normal person, at 37.2 ℃, which is considered normal. If the armpit temperature is measured, remember to wipe the sweat first before measuring. If there is sweat, the body temperature will also be slightly higher. Drink plenty of water in summer and take a warm bath every day. The temperature of children is slightly higher than that of adults, with an average temperature of 36.6 ℃ in the morning and 36.9 ℃ in the afternoon; It was found that some children have axillary temperatures above 37 ℃, especially in summer, accounting for about 50%. After observing a portion of children above 37 ℃, no disease was found during long-term follow-up. So anything below 37.5 is normal.

  The body temperature of normal children varies from individual to individual and fluctuates within a certain range with changes in external environmental factors. Generally, the body temperature is lowest from 2-6 am in the morning and highest from 5-7 pm in the afternoon within 24 hours a day. The temperature under the armpit is generally 36-37 ℃, with slightly higher readings on the oral surface and slightly higher readings on the anal surface. When the temperature drops below 38.5 ℃, the following methods can be used to cool down: apply a warm towel to the forehead, wipe the limbs, chest, and back. But when performing these cooling self treatments, if there are so-called cold reactions such as cold hands and feet, trembling all over the body, and purple lips, this cooling method should be stopped immediately. When the fever reaches above 38.5 ℃, drug cooling is also a commonly used method for reducing fever.

  I believe that after reading the above content, everyone has gained some understanding of how low a three-year-old baby's body temperature is. If parents find that their baby's body temperature is normal, they can first use alcohol to wipe the baby's body to cool it down, and then go to the hospital for examination and treatment. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone.
