What is the normal body temperature for an 8-month-old baby?

The normal body temperature range for an 8-month-old infant refers to the temperature range when infants of this age are in good health. Specifically: 1. Normal temperature range: The normal body temperature of an 8-month-old infant is generally between 36.5°C and 37.5°C. The normal range may vary slightly depending on the time of measurement, method, and environmental conditions. 2. Temperature fluctuations: An infant's body temperature may fluctuate at different times of the day. For example, body temperature in the afternoon or evening is usually slightly higher than in the morning. The fluctuation range is generally no more than 0.5°C, and such changes are usually not considered abnormal. 3. Methods of temperature measurement: When measuring body temperature, a digital thermometer can be used for腋下 (underarm), rectal, or ear temperature measurements. Axillary temperature is slightly lower, while rectal and ear temperatures more accurately reflect core body temperature. Each method has its own specific normal range. If the infant's temperature remains outside the normal range or is accompanied by other symptoms such as irritability, loss of appetite, or fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
