Is a body temperature of 37°C considered a fever in autumn?

Fever refers to an elevated body temperature. In autumn, a body temperature of 37°C is not considered fever.

The normal body temperature ranges between 36.5°C and 37.5°C. A temperature above 37.5°C can be regarded as fever. If the body temperature is only 37°C, specific treatment is generally unnecessary. Drinking more water, resting adequately, and maintaining good sleep and dietary habits can help boost the immune system.

Different individuals have varying abilities to regulate body temperature. Some people may experience symptoms of fever even with a slight temperature increase, while others may not show symptoms until their temperature rises significantly. Therefore, the criteria for fever should also take individual circumstances into account. If fever symptoms occur along with headache, cough, fatigue, etc., corresponding treatments can be adopted based on symptoms. Medications such as Niuhuang Shangqing Tablets or Qingre Jiedu Capsules may be taken under a doctor’s guidance. For more severe symptoms with body temperature exceeding 38.5°C, antipyretics like ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen tablets can be used under medical supervision to reduce fever.

Patients are advised to avoid direct exposure to fans to prevent colds, and should not overdress or over-bundle themselves, which could trap internal heat and lead to increased body temperature.
