A member asked:
I have a 1month old, he has an axilla temperature of 38 degrees and a forehead temp of 36.5 degrees. its a very warm day in the cape. should i worry?

I would evaluate: An infant of that age is at risk of sudden deterioration into an infection caused by germs transferred to them in delivery. An axillary temp of 38 would be a core temp of 38.5 which is ominous at that age. Take him to be evaluated now.
