Is 37.2 degrees considered a fever for a child?

Regardless of the measurement method, a child’s body temperature of 37.2°C is within the normal range and is not considered a fever. In most cases we use axillary temperature, which is easier to measure. The normal axillary temperature range is 36-37.3°C, 37.3-38°C is low fever, 38-39°C is medium fever, and 39°C or higher is high fever. There are many factors that can affect a child’s high body temperature, such as it is higher in the evening than in the early morning, and it can also rise temporarily after eating, crying, or exercising, as well as when the clothing is too thick, the room temperature is too high, etc. This can also cause a child’s body temperature to rise. In addition to these factors, parents should also observe whether their children have sneezing, runny nose and other cold symptoms, and remember to give them plenty of water.
