NORMAL BODY TEMPERA TURE AND FEVER
Body temperature can vary from 97°F(36.1°C) and 99°F(37.2°C) and still be considered
normal. The medically accepted ‘normal’ body temperature is 98.6°F . Body temperatur e is
commonly lower in the morning than at an y point during the rest of an individual’ s wak ing
hours. T emperatur e readings will vary based on the body location point of the reading. Oral
temperature r eadings between 97°F(36.1°C) and 100°F(37.7°C ) are considered normal . A
rectal temperature r eading is generally 1°F(0.5°C) higher; while an underarm, or axillar y,
temperature will be 1°F(0.5°C) low er .
A fever is dened as a body temper ature that is elevated abov e the normal for that
person. It is impor tant to determine what is normal f or an individual before determining
if a fever is pr esent. T rack ing an individual’ s temperature on a consistent basis, a t the
same body site and at the same time everyday will help determine an individual’ s normal
temperature .
