Question
Is a 42-day-old baby’s body temperature of 37.2 degrees Celsius considered a fever?
Answer
Under normal circumstances, a baby’s body temperature may fluctuate slightly. If the baby’s temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees Celsius, it may indicate a fever, and it is necessary to identify the cause and treat accordingly. When the temperature rises above 38.4 degrees Celsius, it is generally recommended to start medication treatment. In hot weather, you can give the baby a warm bath to lower the body temperature.
