First, if you live in the US, you should convert it to Fahrenheit so people know what you're talking about. I've done that for you, and 38oC is approximately 100oF. That's not alarmingly high. In fact, it's nearly within the range of normal body temperature. I wouldn't be too concerned about it. If it persists for more than a couple of hours, you could give your child some acetaminophin (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin). But you should really talk to your baby's pediatrician before giving him any medication. Most health insurance companies have a toll-free number you can call for medical advice (though 9 times out of 10, they just tell you to call a doctor). If you live in the US, there's a toll-free number that I don't think is associated with any one particular insurance company. It's 888-884-2321. It's been a while since I used it, so I'm not sure it's still working.

∙ 12y agoSince the formula for finding the Fahrenheit from celsius is 9/5C + 32 = F~
351/5 + 32 = 102 1/5 degrees Fahrenheit. So as far as just hanging around or walking is concerned you would typically be safe, however any form of strenuous activity may be dangerous and lead to heat stroke.

∙ 14y agoThat depends on the context. If you are talking about human body temperature then yes, it could be dangerous in terms of a fever because 39.5 ºC = 103.1 ºF.

What temperature should your babies room be?
18 degrees Celsius is the ideal temperature for a baby's bedroom. The best way to measure this is by putting the room thermometer into your baby's bed/moses basket (before he/she is in it - and of course take it out again). The reason for testing as close to your baby's sleeping area as possible is that the temperature can fluctuate between different areas of your room. You should never let your baby sleep next to a radiator or in direct sunlight.

30° C is the same temperature as 86° F. That's cooler than body temperature, and cooler than the water for a baby's bath.

With the information above, you can go ahead and decide whether you think it's warm or cold.
