Question
How High is a Fever in Babies?
Answer
A baby’s body temperature between 37.5°C to 38°C is considered low-grade fever, and a body temperature over 37.5°C is considered a fever. Generally, when treating a fever in babies, it’s best to choose physical methods of cooling below 38.5°C, such as increased fluid intake and lukewarm alcohol sponge baths. Medications for fever reduction can have certain side effects in babies.
