Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
The normal body temperature range for children at night is as follows: 1. A child's normal nighttime body temperature generally ranges between 36.5°C and 37.2°C. This range reflects their normal metabolic activity and the body's ability to regulate temperature. 2. A body temperature within this range helps maintain proper immune system function and supports balanced operation of all body systems, especially during nighttime rest and physical recovery. If a child's temperature consistently exceeds the normal range at night, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as persistent fatigue or loss of appetite, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
