Question
How should I handle a baby’s underarm temperature of 37.6 degrees?
Answer
If the baby’s temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider using physical cooling methods, such as wiping the armpits, neck, and chest with warm water, and placing an ice pack on the baby’s head. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius or the condition is severe, follow medical instructions to use medication. At the same time, pay attention to any changes in the baby’s condition, such as coughing with phlegm or diarrhea, and seek medical attention promptly.
