How many degrees is considered a fever in children?

Fever and colds are the most common symptoms of illness in children, especially newborns who are most susceptible to cold viruses. This is because children have very weak resistance in life and have no ability to resist disease viruses. Fever in children is very destructive to the body, especially the lungs and head. Parents need to pay attention to this. So, what temperature is considered a fever in children?

37.4 degrees is considered a fever. If it is above 38.5 degrees, you can take Children's Tylenol. If it is below 38.5 degrees, you can let the fever go away naturally. However, when a baby has a fever, you must first check whether it is pathological or physiological. The physiological one is called variable fever.

First observe whether the baby has a fever or is suffering from dysphoria. Method: touch the baby's earlobes and coccyx. If these two places are not hot, it is probably not a fever but dysphoria. Dysphoria is a normal process of the baby's growth. Every time the dysphoria occurs, the baby will grow a little. Don't worry. The baby will go through many dysphorias during the growth process. The dysphoria process is not obvious for some babies, but more obvious for some babies, and the reactions are different.

If it is a fever, the baby can take children's Tylenol if the fever is above 38.5 degrees. If it is less than 38.5 degrees, you can give the baby a bath to cool down. Be careful not to catch a cold when bathing. You can also use a towel dipped in diluted alcohol or water to wipe the palms and soles of the baby's feet to help dissipate heat. At this time, the baby should not wear too many clothes, just keep warm, let the baby dissipate heat naturally, and it will come down soon. Usually the baby's temperature will drop during the day and will have a fever again at night, so pay special attention to the baby's body temperature at night. It should be noted that the baby may develop a rash after taking medicine to reduce the fever, but it will disappear on its own, so there is no need to worry.
