Question
How High is a Normal Body Temperature for a 6-Month-Old Baby?
Answer
The normal body temperature for infants ranges from 36.9℃ to 37.5℃. Generally, when the temperature exceeds the baseline by more than 1℃, it can be considered a fever. Low fever refers to temperatures around 38℃, while high fever is defined as temperatures above 39℃. Persistent fever lasting two weeks or more is classified as chronic fever. There are many causes of respiratory system infections in infants, so if a child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system condition, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow children to develop picky eating habits and should provide a balanced diet.
