It’s generally believed that the severity of a fever does not reflect the seriousness of the disease. Weak newborns or children with poor health may not have a high body temperature when sick, while common colds in generally healthy children can cause fever. Persistent high fever often indicates a more complex condition. For a 7-month-old baby, their body temperature is usually higher than that of adults, with the normal baseline for infants being between 36.9℃ and 37.5℃. When the body temperature exceeds the baseline by more than 1℃, it can be considered a fever. Low-grade fever refers to body temperature fluctuating around 38℃, while high fever is when the temperature is above 39℃.
