Answer
The baby’s body temperature of 35.7 to 36.1 degrees Celsius is slightly low but there is no need to worry; please ensure the baby stays warm. The baby’s loose stools and frequent napping during the day may be due to poor digestion or abdominal coldness. The itchy ear might be due to an external auditory canal inflammation. At six months old, the baby may experience physiological anemia. Inadequate care or exposure to cold may lead to vomiting. It is recommended to take the baby for a blood routine and stool routine check at the hospital to rule out anemia or infection. Also, take the baby to an otolaryngology department for an external auditory canal inflammation check. Administer intestinal probiotics to the baby and perform abdominal massage for the baby.
