General way to measure body temperature, if armpit measurement with mercury meter, normal temperature does not exceed 37.3℃. If the baby temperature is measured is 37.7℃, even if it is low fever, but the baby must measure the temperature in a quiet state. If the baby crying, exercise, shower, after eating the temperature may be high, may also reach 37.7℃, this time is not a fever. When measuring the baby's temperature, be sure to measure it in a quiet state, without sweat under the armpit, and before meals and feeding. The measurement time is generally about 5 minutes, not too long or too short, less than 3 minutes is not accurate, 5 minutes is more appropriate. If in a quiet state, without sweat under the armpit, the temperature measured exceeds 37.7℃ is considered a fever.
