Question
Last night, my child’s body temperature was 35.2 degrees Celsius. After being taken to the hospital, the temperature was measured at 35.6 degrees Celsius. The doctor checked the routine blood test (blood routine) and said it was nothing serious, so we were advised to go home and observe. This morning, the body temperature was again 35.6 degrees Celsius. What should we do?
Answer
Hello, there is a suspicion that the measurement method is incorrect, so it is recommended to check rectal temperature to confirm if it is normal. Children have weaker physical resistance, so they are more prone to low body temperatures. For parents, there’s no need to panic. It’s important to take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and to conduct regular checks on the child while following the doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment.
