The temperature of a healthy person is influenced by
many different factors: their individual metabolism
which varies from person to person, age (body temper-
ature 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), clothing, 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.
