I'm worried my child has a fever and I'm wondering if 38 degrees Celsius is a fever in a child. I've read that a fever is usually defined as any temperature over 37.5 degrees Celsius, but I want to make sure I'm taking the right steps to help my child. Does anyone have experience with this or know what is considered a fever in a child? Can anyone provide advice or resources that might be helpful? I'd really appreciate any help or support I can get.

38 Derece Sıcaklık Çocukta Ateş mi?

38 derece sıcaklık, çocuklarda ateş olarak kabul edilmez. Ancak, çocuğunuzun normal vücut sıcaklığı 37,5 ° C'nin üzerinde ise, bu çocukta ateşin varlığı anlamına gelir. Bu nedenle, çocuğunuzun vücut sıcaklığını ölçmek ve doktora göstermek en iyisidir. Doktor, çocuğunuzun belirtilerine ve vücut sıcaklığına göre, çocuğunuzun ateşli olduğunu ve tedavi alması gerektiğini belirleyebilir.

The answer to this question depends on the age of the child. Generally, a fever in a child is defined as a body temperature of 38°C (100.4°F) or higher. If the child is 3 months or younger, a rectal temperature of 37.5°C (99.5°F) or higher is considered a fever. For children aged 3 months to 3 years, a fever is considered a temperature of 38°C or higher. For children aged 3 years and older, a temperature of 37.5°C (99.5°F) or higher is considered a fever. Therefore, 38°C (100.4°F) is considered a fever in a child aged 3 months or older.

No, 38°C (100.4°F) is not necessarily a fever in a child. The general cutoff temperature for a fever is 37.5°C (99.5°F), but this can vary depending on the age of the child and the use of an oral, rectal, or axillary thermometer. It is important to note that a fever is usually a symptom of an underlying illness, so it is always a good idea to consult your paediatrician if you are concerned.
