A member asked:
How low a temperature reading would require seeing a doctor for a 5yo? if we typically take axil., would we retake oral/rectal before deciding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rely on his behavior: Except if you've been hiking in winter, a low body temp would only be serious if he were showing signs of shock (whether due to infection, bleeding or other causes). That would mean pale skin, blue lips, drowsiness, & maybe rapid breathing. It's the scary symptoms & not the temp that would send you to the emergency room!
