Question
What is the normal body temperature for a child?
Answer
The normal body temperature for a 2-year-old ranges from 36.5℃ to 37℃, with armpit temperature being 0.5℃ lower than oral temperature and rectal temperature being 0.5℃ higher. When measuring, it is important to keep the skin dry. Armpit temperature is easily affected by the environment, so make sure to wipe it clean and tightly secure the thermometer before obtaining an accurate result.
