37 Degrees Celsius is a Normal Temperature if taken in mouth under the tongue. Underarm temperature is usually lower by 0.5 to 0.6 degree Celsius. However in summer or heavily clothed children this is discounted. Ideally Mouth or Oral temperature is considered more accurate than underarm. Wait and watch your child...no cause for concern now.
