Last Update 2 years ago

The colour differences in the diagram help you to better understand your child's temperature behaviour. They make it easier to interpret the temperature curve.


Important: Temperature fluctuations are not always an indication of illness. Body temperature changes throughout the day and night.


🟩 GREEN BARS

The body temperature is between 35°C and 37°C. This is medically considered a normal temperature.


🟨 YELLOW BARS

The body temperature is between 37°C and 38°C, which is considered a slightly elevated temperature. However, this does not necessarily mean that your child is ill. They could simply be too warm - due to warm clothing or a high room temperature.

Physical activity or dreams can also lead to a temporary rise in temperature.
Tip: Temporarily elevated temperatures often have harmless causes. Observe your child and, if in doubt, ask your paediatrician if you have the impression that they are not feeling well.


🟥 RED BARS

The body temperature is above 38°C, which is considered a fever. In this case, you should check with a medical clinical thermometer.

A short-term temperature above 38°C is usually harmless. However, if the temperature remains elevated for longer and your child appears pale or tired, contact your paediatrician.


🟦 BLUE BARS

The body temperature is below 35°C, which is not considered normal. This may indicate that the ladybird had too little body contact and the temperature was not measured correctly. Alternatively, the ladybird may still have been in the warm-up phase.
