The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. Measurements are commonly taken in the mouth, the ear, the anus, or the armpit. In females, the vagina can also be used. The median daytime temperature among healthy adults are as follows:

  • Temperature in the anus (rectum/rectal), vagina, or in the ear (otic) is about 37.6 °C (99.6 °F)
  • Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F)
  • Temperature under the arm (axillary) is about 36.4 °C (97.6 °F)

Normal human body temperature varies slightly from person to person and by the time of day. Consequently, each type of measurement has a range of normal temperatures. The range for normal human body temperatures, taken orally, is 36.8±0.7 °C (98.2±1.3 °F). This means that any oral temperature between 36.1 and 37.5 °C (96.9 and 99.5 °F) is likely to be normal.

ORALLY? Yes, RECTALLY OR BY EAR? No.

No, but it's only 0.2 F. degrees away from what would be considered a high fever.
