Earlier in the day her temperature dropped to 35.5 (rectal). Is that too low? Could it be a side effect of antibiotics?

A child's temperature is typically between 36.6 and 38 degrees Celsius. However, fluctuations can occur without necessarily indicating a problem. It is important to monitor the overall condition of the child. As long as the child appears well, is eating and drinking (even if less than usual), and is urinating and having bowel movements, monitoring is recommended. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask a healthcare professional.
