What can i do to lower my 6 weeks baby temperature? i've used a thermometer to check her temperature and it was 37.2 degrees celsius is it normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You don't: 37.2 is a normal temperature (C) and does not need any change. When/if you think your 6 wk old has fever it would need to be 38C or above. At that age with fever they might have infection from birth related germs & would need to be seen immediately on an emergency basis.
