A child’s body temperature of 35.7°C is abnormal. The normal body temperature range for children is 36.3°C to 37.2°C; therefore, any temperature below or above this range is considered abnormal. A temperature of 35.7°C warrants prompt evaluation by a pediatrician. The child may have a low-grade fever caused by a cold.
