consider, for self-diagnosis) which thermometer you used to measure
your body temperature and in which part of the body.
The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by many different
factors: their individual metabolism which varies from person to person,
age (body temperature is higher for infants and toddlers and decreases
with age. For children, higher temperature fluctuations occur more
readily and more frequently due to growth spurts, for example), cloth-
ing, external temperature, time of day (body temperature is lower in
the morning and increases throughout the day and in the evening),
physical, and to a limited extent, mental activity.
The temperature value varies depending on the part of the body it is
being measured from. For healthy people, this deviation can lie between
0.2°C (0.4°F) – 1°C (1.8°F).
The normal temperature range for
- forehead measurement: 35.8°C (96.4°F) – 37.6°C (99.7°F) using
a forehead thermometer,
- ear measurement: 36.0°C (96.8°F) – 37.8°C (100°F) using an ear
thermometer,
- rectally measured temperature: 36.3°C (97.3°F) – 37.8°C (100°F)
using a conventional thermometer,
- orally measured temperature: 36.0°C (96.8°F) – 37.4°C (99.3°F)
using a conventional thermometer.
To be able to measure a temperature progression you must always
measure from the same part of the body.
