In addition, the weather is relatively hot, and diet may cause the temperature to rise. Of course, we must be vigilant about some disease-related reasons, such as infection.

Generally speaking, a body temperature over thirty-seven and a half degrees can be considered a fever. If the fever exceeds 38 degrees, you can take antipyretics such as Tianqian.

Causes of low-grade fever in babies

There are many reasons why babies have a low fever. If the baby has no obvious symptoms of discomfort, but has a low fever, what are the reasons?

1. Physical reasons: The baby's metabolism is fast, and body temperature fluctuations within 1°C are considered normal.

2. Weather reasons: It is related to the weather. The baby’s water intake is insufficient and sweating is less, which leads to higher body temperature. When the weather turns cooler, your baby's body temperature will return to normal.

4. Infectious low fever: After the baby becomes ill, the disease will recur due to insufficient treatment, and there will also be intermittent low fever.

5. Low fever after infection: After the baby suffers from infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, bacillary dysentery, and Japanese encephalitis, the function of regulating body temperature has not fully recovered, resulting in persistent low fever.

7. Non-infectious low fever: If the baby has blood diseases, endocrine and immune system diseases, low fever may occur.
