What should a 1-month-old baby's fever be?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
A normal rectal body temperature for a 1-month-old is 36.5-37.5°C.
38°C and above is considered fever and requires urgent medical evaluation—you must go to a health facility or call 112. At this age, immunity is still very weak, so even a simple infection must be taken seriously.
For temperature measurement, the most reliable method at this age is rectal (through anus). Armpit and ear measurements aren't accurate for this age.
