The normal body temperature of children is slightly higher than that of normal adults. Children's skin is very thin, which can easily cause heat loss. Therefore, children must take good measures to keep warm and avoid hypothermia caused by heat loss. What is the normal body temperature for children?
Children's basal body temperature will remain between 36.9 and 37.5 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is below 36 degrees, it is considered hypothermia, because children's body temperature regulation system has not yet developed well, subcutaneous fat is very thin, and body heat is easily lost, so children's body temperature is more likely to be too low. Children with low body temperature may cry softly, refuse to breastfeed, and have cold skin. If they do not receive timely protection, their bodies will weaken and their resistance will decrease.
If a child's body temperature is higher than 37.5 degrees, there is a possibility of fever in the child. Mothers need to cool down the child in a timely manner to ensure that the child's body temperature is maintained within a normal range.
If a child's body temperature is too low, parents need to keep their child's body warm in a timely manner. The room temperature should not be lower than 20 degrees Celsius. It is necessary to take timely measures to keep the child warm, and at the same time, to increase the child's nutrition and supplement glucose appropriately. This can thicken the body's fat layer, have a warming effect, enhance the child's ability to resist cold, and keep the child's body temperature normal.
