Question
The baby’s temperature this morning was measured to be around 36 degrees Celsius, with a flushed face. Is this normal? The baby has already taken ceftriaxone and lung-clearing medicine last night.
Answer
Generally speaking, if the baby’s temperature is around 36 degrees Celsius and there are no other obvious symptoms, it can usually be considered normal. However, considering the baby has a flushed face and has taken ceftriaxone and lung-clearing medicine last night, it is recommended to take Huitong amoxicillin and adopt physical cooling measures, such as using a 25%-50% alcohol wipe bath, or cold compresses on the forehead, wrist, and lower legs, while also ensuring adequate fluid intake. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish the baby a speedy recovery!
