Babies are prone to illness due to their weakened immune system, and many diseases are actually caused by their fever. So fever has a great impact on the health of babies, and can even cause irreversible damage. So parents need to know their baby's temperature in order to promptly cool them down. So, what is the normal body temperature for a seven month old baby?
Generally, if you want to measure a baby's body temperature, you can measure it in the baby's mouth, armpits, and anus. But it is generally recommended that parents measure their baby's armpit temperature to determine their body temperature. For a seven month old baby, the armpit temperature is generally between 36.2 ℃ and 37.3 ℃. If the measured temperature exceeds the range of 0.5 ℃ or more, it indicates that the baby is experiencing fever. Moreover, if the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38 ℃, it is considered low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 39 ℃, it is a high fever.
Actually, fever is a self-protection reaction of the human body, so people should not consider fever as a bad thing. Anyway, once the baby has a fever, parents need to cool the baby down in a timely manner to prevent excessive body temperature from burning the baby's body. It is generally recommended that parents wipe their babies' bodies to promote heat dissipation. And it is important to give the baby water in a timely manner to prevent dehydration.
Moreover, if the baby has a fever, parents should promptly take the baby to the hospital for treatment. However, the causes of fever in each baby are different and require in-depth examination and targeted treatment. However, during the treatment of the baby, parents should keep the baby warm in a timely manner to prevent the baby's condition from recurring and causing greater harm to the body.
