Question
Is a baby’s underarm temperature of 38 degrees considered a fever?
Answer
When a baby’s underarm temperature reaches 38 degrees, it can be considered a fever. Premature babies have weaker temperature regulation abilities, and fever may be a signal from the body. It is recommended that parents closely monitor the baby’s condition and provide appropriate fever-reducing measures. At the same time, it is important to consult a doctor promptly to obtain professional diagnosis and treatment advice.
