What is normal body temperature?

Normal body temperature is in the range of 36.5–37.5 °C on the average, although it varies somewhat among individuals (gender, age). Additionally, temperature can vary according to physical activities, throughout the day, & due to external factors, e.g. with the change of seasons. Normal body temperature may change during any given day. It is usually highest in the evening. Body temperature is typically elevated after physical activity.

Body temperature is a basic condition for the proper operation of the cells. It is configured by many internal organs with the control of the nervous system on the delicate balance of heat production & heat loss. This mechanism (called thermoregulation) ensures the stable operation of vital functions by keeping the body at optimum operating internal temperature.

What is my normal temperature?

Normal temperature varies with the individual & also changes depending on the time through the day.

To find out one's normal temperature, therefore we recommend performing regular measurements under the following conditions:
- Measure with the same thermometer
- Measure at the same area
- Measure at the same time of day

Does the temperature reading depend on the body part where the reading is taken?

Yes! The most accurate optimal values derive from rectal measurement: 37.0-37.5 °C (98.6-99.5 °F), while oral measurement produces slightly lower results: 36.8° ± 0.4 °C (98.2° ± 0.7 °F). Measurements taken on the skin (armpit, ear, forehead) gives the lowest values out of these types: 36.5 °C (97.7 °F), since these correlate relatively poorly with the core body temperature.

What is fever?

Fever is a medical sign characterized by an increased body temperature above the normal range. Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 38°C.

Fever is caused by the release of certain chemicals by the immune system, usually as a result of an infection or inflammation. Not every fever needs medical attention, but in young children, if the temperature continues to rise or if there are other worrying symptoms, a doctor should be consulted.

What causes fever?

It can be caused by a number of reasons: in most cases by infectious diseases (such as flu & pneumonia), less frequently by hormone imbalance, metabolic disorders, certain inflammatory conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or even extreme sunburn or certain medications & immunizations (vaccines). 

Sometimes the cause of a fever can't be identified. If you have a temperature of 38.3 C or higher for more than three weeks & your doctor isn't able to find the cause after extensive evaluation, the diagnosis may be fever of unknown origin.

Can I wipe a pencil thermometer with alcohol?

Sterilization with chemical (including alcohol) might transform the surface of the product. Do not sterilize it with any chemical.
You can clean the pencil thermometer with a cloth containing neutral detergent.
