Normal body temperature range

What is the normal body temperature range of the human body? Many people are not sure, especially when taking the temperature of a child. If you cannot grasp the temperature range well, you will not be able to understand whether the child has a fever. So we all need to understand it well. Due to differences in personal constitution, everyone's basal body temperature is not exactly the same, but as long as it is within the normal range, there is no problem.

The normal body temperature of the human body will not be exactly the same depending on the time and part of the measurement. Some people are used to measuring their body temperature under the armpit, while others are used to measuring their body temperature orally. If it is very inconvenient, they will need to measure their body temperature at the rectum. Therefore, we need to have a comprehensive understanding of it. The following will introduce the relevant content of the normal range of human body temperature. I hope that everyone can understand it and it will be convenient.

The average normal human body temperature is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius (axillary). Exceeding this range is fever, below 38 degrees Celsius is low fever, and above 39 degrees Celsius is high fever. The above is dangerous.

When measuring body temperature, you should first shake the mercury column on the thermometer to below 35°C, and then wipe and disinfect it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Nowadays, most people test the temperature by holding the thermometer under the armpit. For young or unconscious children, the rectal temperature can be measured.

When measuring the temperature under the armpit, wipe off the sweat in the armpit first, then place the end of the thermometer with the mercury column under the armpit and clamp it, then take it out after 5 minutes. When measuring rectal temperature, first apply some oil on the round tip of the rectal thermometer for lubrication, then slowly insert it into the anus to a depth of about 2 cm, and remove it after 3 minutes. When measuring rectal temperature, hold the thermometer with your hand to prevent the child from breaking the thermometer and injuring the anus.

When looking at a thermometer, you should hold it horizontally and rotate it slowly, taking the horizontal line to observe the temperature scale indicated by the mercury column. After use, the thermometer should be disinfected with 75% alcohol.

The normal body temperature is generally higher in the morning than in the afternoon. The morning temperature of a one-month-old baby is 0.25℃ higher than in the afternoon, the morning temperature of a six-month-old baby is 0.5℃ higher than in the afternoon, and the temperature of a baby over one year old is 1℃ higher.

1. Neurological aspects:

The "sensors" in women's skin are more sensitive than those in men's, and women have the mission of reproducing offspring. During pregnancy, the fetus in the uterus needs a constant temperature environment, and the uterus is inside the torso, so the woman's torso needs to be more carefully protected. To achieve this goal, the "sensors" in women's skin must be more sensitive

2. Hormones:

The female ovary forms a corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone, which can cause the body temperature to rise. The body temperature regulation center is extremely sensitive to the effects of progesterone (also known as progesterone). A certain amount of progesterone (12, 8nmol/L) can cause the body temperature to rise.

3. Women have higher body fat than men, which may also be a reason

The child is tall, the baby expert answered:

The body temperature should not exceed 37℃ on the oral table, and 37.6℃ on the rectal table is the normal body temperature.

An oral thermometer is a thermometer that measures body temperature in the mouth

What is the normal body temperature of a child?

(Armpit)

After a child is born, his normal body temperature is slightly higher than that of an adult and is prone to fluctuations. This is because children have an active metabolism and their temperature regulation center is not yet fully developed.

The normal body temperature of children is generally around 37 to 37.2 degrees Celsius. In a few children, the highest body temperature in a day can reach 37.4 degrees Celsius. In addition, children's body temperature can fluctuate greatly within a day. The temperature of young children can differ by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius within a day, while that of older children can vary by more than 1 degree Celsius. The body temperature is higher after meals, after exercise, after bathing, after crying, after sweating a lot, and in hot weather and in the afternoon. In contrast, body temperature is lower in the morning and during sleep.

Because normal body temperature varies from person to person, not all children's normal body temperature can reach 37.2 degrees Celsius, or their body temperature fluctuates by 0.5 to 1 degree Celsius in the morning and afternoon every day. In the early stages of some diseases, when the condition is mild, children will have a low fever. If the normal body temperature of these children is lower than 37 degrees Celsius, then in the early stages of their illness, the low fever temperature may be only around 37.5 degrees Celsius. This situation must be taken seriously.

The method to measure normal body temperature is to measure it once at around 8 am, 3 pm, and 8 pm, and measure it for several days in a row. The most stable value is the normal body temperature.

Are you all familiar with the range of normal human body temperature? Then we will have a clear idea when measuring body temperature in the future. In addition, try not to walk around when measuring body temperature. It is best to sit still or lie down flat. This way, the measured temperature will be the most accurate and will not affect our judgment.
