A child’s body temperature dropping below 35 degrees may be caused by fever-reducing medication or hormone-based drugs. It can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or hot congee, and precautions should be taken to avoid catching a cold, as well as drinking plenty of water.

A baby’s fluctuating temperature may be due to infectious fever, commonly caused by viral or bacterial infections. Physical cooling methods, such as cold compresses on the forehead, can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen suspension can be administered for medication cooling.
