    The basal body temperature of a normal child is: Generally, fever is considered when the body temperature exceeds the basal body temperature 1 or more. Among them, low-grade fever refers to the fluctuation of body temperature around 38, and the body temperature above 39 during high fever.

    Fever for more than two weeks is called long-term fever. My principle is to give the baby more water than the degree, don't take antipyretic medicine, take antipyretic injections, and give the baby plenty of water. Pay attention to whether the ambient temperature is too high.

    In the hot summer, the temperature is very high, and the baby's ability to regulate its own body temperature is poor, and the heat is not easy to dissipate when the mother holds the baby, so that the body temperature rises. However, this fever generally does not last too long, and then put the child in a cool place, fan it slightly, give the child some cool fruit juice, or give the child a warm bath, and the body temperature will drop to normal after a few hours. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too high and the baby is wrapped too much, it can also raise the baby's body temperature.
