Question
How high is a fever in an 8-month-old baby?
Answer
Generally speaking, if an 8-month-old baby’s body temperature exceeds 37.5°C, it may be considered a fever. However, everyone’s body temperature varies slightly, and a baby’s temperature can be influenced by the environment and activity levels. So, if you notice that the baby’s temperature is higher than usual, you should pay attention to whether there are other symptoms of fever, such as loss of appetite, crying and restlessness, and a sustained rise in temperature. If you are worried about the baby having a fever, it is recommended to take them to see a doctor as soon as possible.
