Question: Dear Doctor, my baby head is hotter then her own body Most of the time. She is one year old. Why is this happening?
Brief Answer:
This is a normal thing.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to this forum.
Can understand your concerns.
Temperature of head is more than rest of body, this is a normal thing. TThere is no definite reason for this but it is for sure that it is a normal thing and one should not worry about this.
Temperature should be taken at arm pit or inside mouth by keeping a thermometer for 2 minutes, if temperature is more than 100 Fahrenheit, then only we say that it is fever.
I think that it's a natural phenomenon and you should not worry about this.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
