Question
At what temperature does a newborn’s body become dangerous?
Answer
When a newborn’s body temperature surpasses 39 degrees Celsius, immediate cooling measures should be taken. If the temperature reaches or exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it may trigger severe conditions such as seizures and convulsions. Therefore, it is recommended to actively lower the temperature and use antipyretic medication, hormones, and antibiotics for treatment. Additionally, cold or fever may also cause cramps in infants, and calcium deficiency can also lead to frequent convulsions. Therefore, supplementing with calcium, consuming cod liver oil and calcium supplements, and getting plenty of sunlight can help improve these symptoms.
