Parents are most concerned about their baby's body temperature, and occasionally they need to touch their child's forehead to see if they have caught a cold or fever. However, a child's body temperature is different from that of an adult, and many parents are not very clear about the normal range of their child's body temperature. In this case, parents must be particularly worried. So, what is the body temperature of a two month old baby?
The normal temperature range for a baby's armpit is between 36 ℃ and 37.3 ℃, which is considered normal. If it exceeds 37.4 ℃, it may be due to illness or fever. However, since the baby's temperature control center is not fully developed and subcutaneous fat is thin, body temperature is also easily affected by environmental factors. It can be observed whether it is caused by wearing too much clothing or high indoor temperature.
If the baby's body surface overheating is not caused by environmental factors, but by pathological fever, it is necessary to observe whether the baby's mental state is abnormal. If the baby only has a fever and does not have other obvious discomfort symptoms, and the fever temperature is below 38.5 ℃, it is not necessary to take medication urgently, and physical cooling can be considered using warm water baths or antipyretic patches.
Of course, if the baby has already experienced other discomfort symptoms or a high fever temperature exceeding 38.5 ℃, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if there are other symptoms in the body, and to prescribe the right medicine based on the examination results. Do not use medication indiscriminately in private to avoid delaying the condition and affecting the baby's physical health.
