How Do You Treat Low Body Temperature In An Infant?

Hi doctors! My daughter is just 7 months and going to 8 months in end on this April. Firstly, my daughter had fevers, and was like 100 to 101. We sent her to clinic and the fever went down to 99 and/or normal. After that, she got diarrhea, so sent her again to clinic. After diarrhea gone away, she got red rashes on trunk, some in hands, neck and face. I read about the red rashes and it is like Roseola and also have same symptoms. And, no fever at all. But, started from yesterday, her body temperature was low and like 97 to the lowest was 96.9. But, now the temperature was 96.8. What can I do? Is this the normal temperature after red rashes? She’s still have red rashes till now. Could you please explain me or giving advice with it? Thank you

Welcome to ' Ask a doctor ' service .
I have read your query and here is my answer .
Donot worry about temperature as 96.8 or 96.9 or 97 is not a big issue .
Just concentrate on rash .
Get the red rashes diagnosed by a child specialist .
If other things are normal , and child is active , taking feeds , then ignore this level of temperature .
I hope I have solved your query .
Let me know if I can assist you further in this query .
