A member asked:

3 year old girl sometimes has an in ear temperature of 37.6oc and armpit of 37.2oc. not a fever. what causes elevated temperature? can it be hot climate? her gran dressed her in a long sleeve 2 days ago on a hot day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The normal body temperature fluctuated during the day, tending lower in inactivity/sleep & higher with activity/wakefulness. A kid that age also processes many minor germ encounters that may or may not yield other symptoms. If the kid is functioning well/eating/playing/etc. I wouldn't worry about it.
