Normal Body Temperature
Temperature readings are different from person to person and
also vary depending upon the body location from which the
temperature is measured. For example: Oral temperatures tend to
be comparable to ear temperatures and approximately 1° lower than
rectal temperatures for the same individual. Temperature readings
are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hot or cold
beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.
"Normal" temperature refers to each individual's average
temperature while healthy. You may want to measure and record
your child's temperature a few times when he or she is well, so
that you will know what is normal for your own child. On average,
temperature ranges are as follows:
TEMPERATURE NORMAL FEVER
METHOD TEMPERATURE RANGE
Oral 97.0° - 99.6°F 99.6°F +
Rectal 97.3° - 100.4°F 100.4°F +
Underarm 95.4° - 98.6°F 98.6°F +
