Question
A 1-year-old female child feels tired and goes to the hospital for a check-up, where she is diagnosed with a disease. What is the normal body temperature for newborns?
Answer
The normal body temperature under the armpit should not exceed 37.4 degrees Celsius, with readings commonly ranging between 36 to 37 degrees. However, it is necessary to consider clinical symptoms for accurate assessment and also take into account the baby’s baseline body temperature. If the baseline temperature is low, a slight increase can still be considered normal. During treatment, patients need to maintain a moderate diet, regular work and rest (work and rest ), actively participate in physical exercise, regulate mental and physical health, maintain hygiene, and avoid bacterial infections due to decreased immunity.
