This body temperature falls within the hypothermic range. A common cause is drug overdose. It is recommended that the child drink plenty of warm boiled water and maintain adequate body warmth to help raise the body temperature. If the body temperature remains low for an extended period, medical evaluation at a hospital is necessary, and treatment should be carried out under a physician’s guidance. During this time, the child’s diet should be light; avoid raw, cold, greasy, or overly spicy foods.
