Question
How high is normal body temperature for children?
Answer
Children’s body temperature is slightly higher than adults, averaging between 36.6℃ and 36.9℃. Temperatures below 37.5℃ are considered normal. In summer, some children’s armpit temperatures may be above 37℃, but long-term follow-up has not revealed any diseases. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about slightly elevated temperatures. If the child has symptoms such as crying and restlessness, it is recommended to observe for other causes and consult a doctor in a timely manner.
