Doctor's answer:

Of course, it is normal body temperature. A person's normal axillary temperature fluctuates between 36.0-37.4℃. The daily fluctuation range is within 1.0-1.4℃. Do not measure body temperature immediately after a meal, after exercise, or after returning from a high-temperature environment. Generally, it is valid only if measured after resting quietly for 1 hour under the above conditions. As long as a person shows no symptoms or discomfort, it is considered normal body temperature. This is because the standard for body temperature is based on statistical principles, taking 95% of the population as the norm, which does not include the additional 5% of asymptomatic normal individuals.
