New parents should observe their baby's body temperature frequently during parenting, as the baby's central nervous system is not fully developed and has poor ability to regulate body temperature, which can easily lead to fever symptoms due to adverse factors. But some new parents are not familiar with the normal body temperature of their babies, so what is the normal temperature for babies?
1. Body temperature is an important vital sign that reflects the physical health status of a baby, and its normal temperature should be within the range of 36.3 ℃ to 37.3 ℃. Baby's body temperature may be slightly higher than that of adults because the central development of temperature regulation in the brain of children is not very mature, and their ability to regulate body temperature is weaker. However, their metabolism is faster, so their body temperature may be slightly higher.
2. In general, a baby's body temperature below 37.3 ℃ is considered normal. If it occasionally reaches 37.5 ℃ without accompanying adverse symptoms such as cough, fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, parents do not need to worry excessively. It is important to encourage babies to drink plenty of water and breastfeed regularly, as this can help them urinate frequently and usually restore their body temperature to normal.
3. If the baby's body temperature reaches 37.5 ℃ or above and there is no decrease in multiple measurements, it is considered a low-grade fever symptom. If it exceeds 38 ℃ to 38.5 ℃, it is considered a moderate fever. It is necessary to seek medical examination in a timely manner, complete blood routine, chest X-ray, blood starch enzyme testing, etc., actively identify the cause, and if necessary, receive anti infective and antipyretic drug treatment.
