Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Normal body temperature in children is usually measured as rectal temperature of 36.5 to 37.5°C and axillary temperature of 36 to 37°C. Under normal circumstances, axillary temperature is 0.2 to 0.5°C lower than oral temperature (sublingual), and rectal temperature is approximately 0.5°C higher than axillary temperature. If the axillary temperature exceeds 37.4°C and the body temperature fluctuates more than 1°C within a day, it can be considered a fever.
