Answer 1

37

Answer:

After years of being told that there is a "normal" body temperature it is surprising to many that there are many "normal" temperatures.

It depends on where the temperature is taken.

• Internal temperatures (Rectal, vaginal, inside the body cavity) are 37.0 °C (98.6 °F) but can range from 34.4 to 37.8 °C (94--100 °F)
• The typical oral (under the tongue) measurement is 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F. but can range from 33.2--38.2 °C (92--101 °F)
• Tympanic temperatures (in the ear) can range from 35.4--37.8 °C (96--100 °F)
• Armpit (axillary) reading are typically 36.6 °C (97.9 °F), with a range of 35.5--37.0 °C (96--99 °F)
