What is the normal temperature?

The average normal body temperature is 36~37℃, but the body temperature measured in different parts is different.

For example, the normal temperature of the armpit is 36.5~37.2℃, the normal temperature of the anus is 36.8~37.7℃, and the normal temperature of the mouth is 36~37℃. If the measured body temperature exceeds this range, then it is considered that there is an abnormal body temperature. Generally, a temperature over 37.2℃ indicates a fever. Fever is generally divided into four types: low fever, moderate fever, high fever and ultra-high fever.

Extended data:

In the human body, there is a part that is responsible for managing thermoregulation, called thermoregulation center. It regulates the process of heat production and heat dissipation of the body through factors such as nerves and body fluids, so that the body temperature fluctuates within the normal range, and the body temperature of healthy people can be kept relatively constant.

Exogenous or endogenous substances can act on the thermoregulatory center, destroying the dynamic balance of heat production and heat dissipation, and the body is characterized by fever. Medically, these substances that can cause fever are called pyrogens.

The dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center itself can also cause fever. According to the degree of fever (oral temperature), it can be divided into: low fever: 37.4℃ ~ 38℃; Medium heat: 38.1℃ ~ 39℃; High fever: 39.1℃ ~ 41℃; Ultra-high fever: above 4 1℃.
