How many degrees is a fever in a child?

Children’s body temperature, mostly referred to the axillary temperature, the normal body temperature is around 36 ℃ to 37 ℃. If the body temperature is 37.3℃ and above, then it belongs to the state of fever. Children’s body temperature will be slightly higher than adults, but usually the normal body temperature is also in the 36 ℃ to 37 ℃ or so, parents if the use of thermometers to measure the child’s temperature is higher than 37.2 ℃ is a fever. However, it should be noted that the temperature should be measured in the child’s resting state to be more accurate, because the child’s body temperature is also affected by external factors, such as movement, indoor temperature, and so on. If a child’s fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, try to lower the temperature mainly by physical cooling, such as using a towel to wipe the child’s body to help lower the temperature, and if it exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you need to consult a doctor for medication to reduce the fever.
