Fever
What temperature is considered fever for baby? Usually how do you bring down the temperature? My baby temp fluctuates at 37 degrees
37.5 degrees Celsius (mild fever) and above.. Baby body temperature is higher, at times with hot weather, LO’s temperature can be higher eg 37 degrees Celsius. Sponge LO to cool down his body temperature, wear light clothings, feed more milk(for infant) to keep LO hydrated or water if LO has started solid. Monitor LO’s temperature, if have doubt and concern still, you may bring LO to visit PD.
Read more37 degrees is okay:) for low grade temperature (37.6-37.9 degrees), can probably just sponge baby/use fever patch. I would give paracetamol for fevers higher than that and monitor baby for lethargy/drowsiness/poor feeding/rash/other symptoms to see if baby needs to go see a doctor. For persistently high fevers (>38.5), the doctor advised us to add on ibuprofen, and that helped
Read more37+ means considered as fever n u hv to give paracitomol syrup for every 5 to 6 hrs until temperature controls n not coming again ..
Above 37.5. I would paste the kool fever patch for baby. Use a damp cloth to sponge baby's forehead, neck, armpits, inner thighs.
