Dr. Li Xuemei
A child’s normal body temperature typically ranges from 36.5°C to 37.5°C; therefore, a current temperature of 36.7°C falls well within the normal range. Mothers should adjust their child’s clothing appropriately according to weather changes to prevent cold exposure and subsequent colds. Additionally, encouraging the child to consume more foods rich in vitamin C and protein can help boost their immune system and support healthy metabolism.
