What is the normal temperature of a person?

Generally, it shows the body temperature of the mouth, rectum and armpit, and the rectal body temperature is closest to the deep body temperature. Normal values: oral sublingual temperature is 36.3 ~ 37.2℃, rectal temperature is 36.5 ~ 37.7℃ higher than oral temperature (0.2 ~ 0.5℃), and axillary temperature is 36.0 ~ 37.0℃. The standard of normal body temperature is based on the value of most people, not the absolute value of individuals.

The average normal body temperature is between 36 and 37℃ (underarm). Over 37.3℃ means fever, 37.3 ~ 38℃ means low fever, and 38. 1 ~ 40℃ means high fever. Life is in danger at any time above 40℃.

Extended data

Three parts are commonly used to measure body temperature, namely mouth, armpit and anus:

The normal anus temperature of children is between 36.5℃ and 37.5℃.

Children's oral temperature is between 36.2℃ and 37.3℃;

The temperature under the child's armpit is between 35.9℃ and 37.2℃.

After measurement, when children exceed the normal range by more than 0.5℃, it is called fever. Below 38℃ is called low fever, and above 39℃ is high fever.
