Is a temperature of 34.5 low?

[Sophie2525]

Sorry I meant to post 35.5, I don’t know how to edit the title

. DS had a temp of 38.5 and above for 9 days, GP have antibiotics with suspected ear infection. Since taking the medication yesterday evening his temp has been around 35.5, is this okay? I called 111 last night, they said a GP would call back within 24 hrs but they haven’t.

thanks

The Internet will say its not OK. But my kids often went down to this sort of temp. How is he otherwise? Eating, drinking, weeing and in himself?

You have two different temperatures in your post, 34.5 is hypothermia so very serious

35.5 is pretty low. With a young child I'd get them checked..

36 to 37 is normal range. So he's a little cold. Is he fully dressed? Is he eating. Have you rechecked in case it's user error.
Its not dangerously cold . I would make sure he has enough clothes on then recheck

He is absolutely fine in himself, he’s asleep now but all day he’s being playing, eating and drinking x

He’s in long sleeve PJS and a 1.5 tog sleeping bag x

He is 2 years old, sorry I forgot to mention

Have you checked your temperature with the same thermometer? Could be a false thermometer reading due to battery maybe?

Yes I have checked my thermometer and it’s 36.5, the thermometer is a braun one and has full battery.

Is it a Braun in ear one or other? In ear is best
