Question

My baby is 4 months old and has a temperature of 37.3°C. Is that normal?

Answer

Your baby’s temperature is within the normal range, but an elevated temperature can be a sign of fever. The causes of fever are numerous, with the most common being infection, but it could also be due to connective tissue disease, malignant tumors, and other conditions. Before the cause is determined, you can try using alcohol-based wipes to help your baby cool down, but please avoid giving medication to your baby prematurely. It is recommended that you consult a doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause of the fever and receive appropriate treatment advice.
