Sounds pretty low to me since the normal range is usually from 36.5 to 37.5. Not sure if it is just an inaccurate reading by the thermometer. You can monitor the temperature further, or add a blanket for your baby to see if it helps bring the temperature up. If it stays low, do consult a doctor. Take care!!

Phew! glad to hear that!! :)

Most experts agree that a normal body temperature for a healthy child is between 36 to 38 degC. So I reckon your baby is okay :) Does he show any signs of not being okay? Discomfort or pain?

Hi Yuna, no discomfort shown (luckily). I was afraid that the Low temp might be cause by the medicines. But after giving him blanket to cover and some milk to warm him up, his temp increase till 36.2-36.5. Thank you
