Babies are the continuation of a family, and each baby grows up healthy under the care of their parents. However, in daily life, babies may experience discomfort due to various reasons, such as catching a cold, fever, or knocking, which can cause extreme tension among parents. So, what is the normal body temperature for a 2-year-old baby?
Firstly, the normal body temperature of a 2-year-old baby is generally between 36.0 ℃ and 37.5 ℃. The body temperature of a 2-year-old baby is the same as that of an adult. But when a child is sleeping or exercising, their body temperature may rise, possibly reaching 37.5 ℃. Generally, the baby's temperature does not exceed this temperature, and the baby's spirit is abundant without any discomfort. The baby does not have a fever.
Secondly, if the baby's temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees, it indicates that the baby may have a fever. In addition, children's metabolism is vigorous, and their body temperature may be 0.2 to 0.3 degrees higher than that of adults. Normal body temperature refers to the value measured in a quiet state. If a child cries or exercises violently, there will be a slight increase in body temperature, which will quickly return to normal after rest.
Another situation is that the cold environment or hunger may cause the body temperature to drop below 36 degrees. In this case, as long as timely insulation or energy supplementation is given, the body temperature will quickly return to normal. The most commonly used method for measuring body temperature in daily life is axillary temperature measurement, which is also the safest method.
