Question

Is it dangerous for a six-month-old baby to have a low fever of only 35.5 degrees Celsius?

Answer

Hello, the normal body temperature for adults is around 36 to 37 degrees Celsius. A body temperature below 35.5 degrees Celsius may indicate hypothermia. To ensure your baby’s health, it’s recommended to take the following measures:

  1. Increase your baby’s warmth.
  2. Encourage your baby to drink more warm water to help regulate body temperature. These methods are typically effective in improving your baby’s body temperature. If you still have concerns or your baby’s condition does not improve, please consult a doctor promptly.
