Question

What is the normal body temperature for children?

Answer

According to the measurement method of children’s body temperature by armpit temperature, a reading above 37℃ can be considered a fever. The severity of fever can be categorized into low fever (37℃-38℃), moderate fever (38.1℃-39℃), high fever (39.1℃-40.4℃), and very high fever (above 40.3℃). When a child shows signs of fever, parents should pay attention to observation and take appropriate measures based on the condition.
