Question
What is the normal body temperature of a 7-month-old baby?
Answer
Body temperature is typically measured at three sites: oral, axillary, and rectal. The normal body temperature ranges from 36.5℃ to 37.5℃ when measured rectally, from 36.2℃ to 37.3℃ when measured orally, and from 35.9℃ to 37.2℃ when measured axillary. If the body temperature exceeds the normal range by more than 0.5℃, it is considered a fever.
