Question
My child has been crying and not eating much recently. What is the normal range for an ear temperature test for a four-month-old baby?
Answer
Human body temperature can vary with age and environment, so the above values are not absolute and are for reference only. According to statistics, the normal body temperature range for infants aged 0 to 2 years is approximately 36.4°C to 38.0°C. If the measured body temperature exceeds this range, it is recommended to move the child to a cool place or turn on the air conditioner and provide physical cooling. For infants with high body temperature or severe symptoms, rapid cooling measures should be taken, such as wearing an ice cap on the head, placing ice packs, and controlling body temperature through intravenous injection of chlorpromazine compound. At the same time, it is necessary to correct water and electrolyte balance, prevent complications, and carry out emergency treatment such as infection control.
