    Default Is it bad if a 16 month old is below normal temp?

    My friends 16 month old has a temp of 35.2

    I know the usual temp is around 36 so I am wondering if we need to do anything??
    Be careful when letting go of things you think mean nothing to you, You just might end up looking back and realising you let go of something you wanted after all...

    I'd take it again. If it is an under arm temp, I have found it really needs to be pressed a fair way in to the arm pit, not just under the arm.
    I thought DD's was a little low noormally, till i thought she was warmish one day, the themometer read normal, but the GP's (also an underarm) said fever! So ever since i have really wedged it in there! She now has a normal temp more often than not. If you don't get it right in you are just taking the skin temp, not the "internal" temp.
