1. Definition of normal baby body temperature
The normal body temperature of newborns and young children is different from that of adults. It is generally between 36.5°C and 37.5°C. However, due to individual differences and environmental factors, it may be slightly higher or lower. Therefore, when measuring your baby\’s temperature, you need to pay attention to the measurement method and environmental conditions to accurately determine whether your baby has a fever.
2. How to measure the baby’s normal body temperature
1. Armpit method: Insert the thermometer into the baby\’s armpit and hold it for 3-5 minutes.
2. Ear method: Insert the ear thermometer into the baby\’s ear and press the button to get the result.
3. Forehead method: Aim the infrared thermometer at the baby\’s forehead to measure.
3. Factors that change baby’s normal body temperature
1. Time factor: Body temperature may be different in the morning and evening.
2. Environmental factors: The baby\’s body temperature will also change in different environments.
3. Dietary factors: Body temperature will rise slightly after eating.
4. How to judge whether a baby has a fever
1. Armpit body temperature exceeds 37.5°C.
2. Ear temperature exceeds 38°C.
3. The forehead thermometer shows more than 37.8°C.
5. How to deal with baby’s fever
1. Maintain indoor ventilation and avoid over-wrapping and over-heating.
2. Give enough water to avoid dehydration.
3. Use antipyretics, but you need to pay attention to the dosage and usage.
4. If your baby has abnormal symptoms such as shortness of breath, red skin, etc., you should seek medical treatment in time.
Abstract:
The normal body temperature of infants is generally between 36.5°C and 37.5°C, but it may be slightly higher or lower due to individual differences and environmental factors. When measuring your baby\’s temperature, you need to pay attention to the measurement method and environmental conditions to accurately determine whether there is a fever. The criteria for judging whether there is a fever are that the armpits exceed 37.5°C, the ears exceed 38°C, and the forehead exceeds 37.8°C. Treating your baby\’s fever requires ventilation, adequate hydration, antipyretics, and attention to abnormalities.
