What to do if the child's temperature is below 36 degrees

The child's body temperature is lower than 36 degrees. Everyone's situation is different. Some children have a low body temperature but it has no effect on the body. Some fluctuations in weight do not mean anything. If you are really worried, go to the hospital to see the doctor's opinion. Don't be too nervous and observe the child's body temperature. If the child's usual body temperature is 37 degrees, it is okay to have 36 degrees when he feels uncomfortable. You should observe the child's condition. If the child is not feeling uncomfortable, there is no need to worry too much.

1. Low-grade fever is generally seen in viral infections, mainly in infants and young children, and is more common in throat infections, with no systemic manifestations. General examinations show no obvious abnormalities, no respiratory symptoms, and the low-grade fever lasts for a long time. When the pharyngeal streptococci or Staphylococcus aureus are infected in older children, they may also present with long-term low-grade fever. Pharyngeal secretion culture can be performed, and if bacteria can be found, the diagnosis can be confirmed.

2. The body temperature will generally not be lower than 36 degrees. The common reasons are: 1. inaccurate measurement. Some children are small and the correct part is not clamped; 2. After catching a cold, antipyretic drugs are taken, causing the body temperature to drop too low. Pay attention to whether the measurement is inaccurate. If it is the second type, it is recommended to keep warm and drink more water. If you sweat after keeping warm, be sure to wipe off the sweat. If it remains low, fluid infusion is needed to replenish energy.

3. The normal body temperature of children is around 37~37.2 degrees Celsius. In a few children, the highest body temperature in a day can reach 37.4 degrees Celsius. In addition, children's body temperature can fluctuate greatly within a day. The temperature of young children can differ by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius within a day, while that of older children can vary by more than 1 degree Celsius. The body temperature is higher after meals, after exercise, after bathing, after crying, after sweating a lot, and in hot weather and in the afternoon. In contrast, body temperature is lower in the morning and during sleep.

4. Normal body temperature varies from person to person. Therefore, not all children's normal body temperature can reach 37.2 degrees Celsius, or their body temperature fluctuates by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius in the morning and afternoon every day. In the early stages of some diseases, when the condition is mild, children will have a low fever. If the normal body temperature of these children is lower than 37 degrees Celsius, then in the early stages of their illness, the low fever temperature may be only around 37.5 degrees Celsius. This situation must be taken seriously. The method to measure normal body temperature is to measure it once at around 8 am, 3 pm, and 8 pm, and measure it for several days in a row. The most stable value is the normal body temperature.

I hope the above can give parents some reference. The child's body temperature will change a little, and this change will be affected by the surrounding environment. The body temperature will also change when the weather is hot. If the child is not feeling uncomfortable, there is no need to worry. Keep a good mood and take the child out for exercise more often to strengthen the child's physical fitness. I hope the child will be healthy.
