Question

How much is a normal body temperature for a 24-day-old baby? Besides the small red dots behind the ears, what could be the cause? I noticed the small red dots this morning and haven’t gone to the hospital for treatment yet. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No treatment, not aware of any allergies, what kind of help is needed: What are the small red dots, and how did they come about?

Answer

The normal body temperature is 36.3-37.2 degrees, but it is recommended for newborns to be between 36-37 degrees, as this “balanced environment” is most conducive to growth and development. Guidance: Your baby’s small red dots may be due to being wrapped too much. If there are no other symptoms, you can first observe carefully and not wrap your baby too tightly. Wear cotton clothing, and wish your baby grows strong and healthy.
