Question
Is a baby’s temperature of 37.4℃ considered a fever?
Answer
According to your description, a baby’s temperature of 37.4℃ is not considered a fever. A normal baby’s body temperature is slightly higher than that of an adult, usually ranging from 36.5℃ to 37.5℃. If a baby’s temperature exceeds 37.5℃ and persists for a period of time, it may be indicative of a fever. When a baby has a fever, you can take some measures to help bring down the temperature, such as using lukewarm water to wipe their body, or dressing them in fewer clothes to aid in heat dissipation. If the baby’s temperature exceeds 38.5℃ or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should take them to see a doctor.
