Question
What is the normal axillary temperature for a one-year-old baby?
Answer
The normal axillary temperature for a one-year-old baby typically ranges from 36.5 to 37.5 degrees Celsius. However, if it exceeds 37 degrees, it may indicate a fever. Fever can be a symptom of a cold, often accompanied by symptoms like coughing and phlegm. If the baby has a fever, you can give them children’s paracetamol and phenylephrine granules for treatment, and ensure they drink plenty of water and stay warm. If the situation does not improve, intravenous treatment may be required.
