About Normal Body Temperature & Fever

Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to the next. It also varies by location on the body and different times of the day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from different sites. Please keep in mind that temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly compared.

Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may be potentially caused by infection, overdressing or immunization. Some people may not experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compromised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician when you feel ill even if you do not have a fever.

Table 1 Body Site Normal Temperature Range

Oral 0.6°C (1°F) or more above or below 37°C (98.6°F)

Rectal/ear 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) higher than oral temperature

Axillary(underarm) 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) lower than oral temperature
