What is the reason for body temperature 35.4

The body temperature of 35.4°C is significantly lower than the normal human body temperature range, which usually points to a hypothermic state. The causes of this state are diverse and may involve measurement methods, environmental factors, endocrine problems, infections, and improper use of medications. This article will analyze these causes in detail and provide corresponding treatment measures.

1. Measurement methods and environmental factors

When measuring body temperature, if the time is less than 5 minutes, the armpit is not clamped, or the thermometer is placed improperly, the measurement result may be low. At the same time, being in a low temperature environment for a long time and wearing thin clothing will also cause the body temperature to drop.

2. Endocrine factors

1. Hypothyroidism: Due to the reduced synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, the basal metabolic rate decreases, resulting in lower body temperature.

2. Adrenocortical insufficiency: The lack of hormones in the body affects the body's adaptation to cold.

3. Infection and Inflammation

Before the high fever caused by inflammatory infections such as severe pneumonia, patients may develop intolerance to cold and hypothermia. At this time, you need to seek medical treatment promptly and use appropriate antibiotic treatment.

4. Improper use of drugs

Excessive use of antipyretics or taking drugs before the temperature reaches the appropriate temperature may lead to hypothermia. At this time, the medication should be stopped immediately, drink an appropriate amount of hot water, and perform massage and hot compress on the hands and feet if necessary.

5. Other disease factors

Long-term hunger, anemia, etc. may also cause body temperature to drop. For this type of situation, the diet structure should be adjusted to ensure nutritional intake, and drug treatment such as iron supplements and folic acid may be required.

A body temperature of 35.4°C requires attention. After the cause is clear, targeted treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
