baby temperature range?

Normal body temperature in babies is generally considered to be in the range of 36.5-37.5°C. Fever is evaluated as 38°C and above, though this isn't always a sign of illness; excessive heat, intense crying, or teething can also temporarily raise body temperature.
In babies, fever measurement is most reliably done rectally; underarm (axillary) measurement is practical but generally shows 0.5°C lower. A digital thermometer is recommended.
Situations requiring emergency medical help:
- 38°C or higher fever in babies under 3 months
- 39°C or higher fever in babies 3-6 months old
- Fever accompanied by: lethargy, irritability, difficulty breathing, skin rash, seizures, or changes in consciousness
- Fever lasting longer than 24 hours or continuing for more than 3 consecutive days
In any of these situations, seek medical care immediately without delay.
