Patient's question:
What is the normal body temperature for children? How much is considered normal for oral thermometers, liquid thermometers, and rectal thermometers? Also, what about the thermometer placed on the neck? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Normal body temperature measured in the armpit is considered normal if it is between 36 degrees and 37.5 degrees.Advice: Measure the temperature in the armpit or rectum, but the two methods yield different results. Generally, 35-37.5 is considered normal. A child's armpit temperature should not exceed 37.5 degrees. Children's body temperatures are usually slightly higher than those of adults!
