Question

Is a 37°C temperature a fever for an 11-month-old baby? What should I do if the temperature reaches 37°C now? My previous treatment situation and effects: None. The help I’m looking for: Treatment assistance.

Answer

Babies of this age naturally have a higher baseline body temperature, so it’s not considered a fever unless it exceeds 37.4°C. There’s an exception, though; if the child’s usual temperature is below 36°C, then a current temperature of 37°C may already be considered a low-grade fever. I hope this explanation helps. The above is a suggestion for the question ‘Is a 11-month-old baby’s 37°C temperature a fever?’ I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you health!
