What Does This Body Temperature Of A 3 Year Old Indicate?
My daughter is 3 yrs old and is sleeping at the moment I went in to check on her and she seemed really warm to the touch so I went and found the thermometer and took her temperature around the arm pit and it came back at 95.1 is that okay or should I be concerned??

Hello
The normal temperature when measured orally ranges from 98.3 to 99.5 F. Temperature of body varies and is at lowest level in the morning and maximum in late afternoon.
95.1 F temperature of body is below than normal limit. Please recheck the temperature as there may be some error. Wet armpit may also give erroneous result.
Low temperature is much less common than raised temp. If recorded correctly warming of body should be done. Overdose of antipyratic may also cause low temperature.
