What is the oral temperature?

Patient's question:

Fever, high fever I want to know if the oral temperature is the same for adults and children? What degree is within the normal range? What kind of assistance do you need: Tell me the temperature, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Body temperature is similar to that of adults. The normal oral temperature is 36.3-37.3°C.
Guidance: The degree of fever can be divided into:
- Low-grade fever: 37.3-38°C
- Moderate fever: 38.1-39°C
- High fever: 39.1-41°C
- Hyperpyrexia: 41°C
A normal person's body temperature is generally around 36-37°C. Normal body temperature varies slightly among individuals and is often affected by internal and external factors, causing fluctuations. During a 24-hour period, afternoon temperature may be slightly higher than morning temperature. After intense exercise, labor, or meals, body temperature may also slightly decrease, but the general fluctuation range does not exceed 1°C. Additionally, in high-temperature environments, body temperature may also slightly decrease.
