Body Temperature

98.6 degrees, depending on where you live, if the child's temp reaches 102 or 103 you need to take them to the hospital, if they are very young.

Body temperature normally fluctuates over the day, with the lowest levels around 4 a.m. and the highest in the late afternoon, between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. (assuming the person sleeps at night and stays awake during the day).

Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is a concept that depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day and level of activity of the body. Although the value 37.0 C (98.6 F) is the commonly accepted average core body temperature, the value of 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F is an average oral (mouth under the tongue) measurement. Rectal measurements, or measurements taken directly inside the body cavity, are typically slightly higher.

The normal, average human body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C).

The first homeostatic response is that the blood vessels to the skin narrow, reducing the amount of warm blood flowing through the skin and therefore reducing heat loss. When the body temperature is high, the blood vessels widen near the skin to realease the excess heat in the blood. Another response to high body temperature is sweating... the sweat glands are activated which increases evaporative cooling. Also the chemical reactions of muscle activity( contraction and relaxation) generates heat

If the body temperature increases too much it can cause proteins within the body to denature and fall part. This disrupts physiological functioning which is bad

Hypothermia is a threatening condition, that can lead to death.

You should wait 20-30 minutes after, smoking, eating, or drinking a hot or cold liquid to take your temperature. You should wait at least an hour after extensive exercise or a hot bath for an accurate reading.

It is believed by psychologists that the hypothalamus, a sub-cortical structure in the brain, is responsible for the most basic human functions, including temperature, hunger, sleep, and levels of arousal and also thyroxine can also controls this

Yes, that temperature is specified as something called hypothermia. This is accompanied with intense shivering, numbness and bluish/grayness of the skin. There is the possibility of heart irritability.

103 is the temperature you should see a doctor at.

When the body temperature dips to 88 degrees, it is severe hypothermia. When the temperature goes below 88F, shivering stops and when it gets even lower is when organs begin to slow down and eventually stop.

== == There are several forms of arthritis but the common factors are pain, joint deterioration, limited mobility and loss of mobility that can lead to the inability to perform routine tasks, work, walking, dressing and even to feed yourself.

Yes, a temperature of 102 means that adult is running a fever.

A normal body temperature for anyone is 98.6 degrees f

Are you having any other symptoms? Shortness of breath? Pain? Urination problems? Edema (swelling) can be caused by many things. Some things are not so bad (like eating too much salt or being hot) and other things are very bad (kidney or liver failure). If this has happened suddenly and you've never experienced it before, then you should go to the doctor. It could be nothing or it could be something. But better to be safe than sorry.

Stress, narrowing of arteries, thinkness of blood, disease processes, poor diet, decreased blood oxygen. Commonly refered to as hypertension. Other factors can be caffeine, electrolite imbalances, obesity, diabetes, family history (which cannot be modified.) The actual cause remains unknown.

No, it's worse. If you're ill, and your temperature is low, that means your body is unable to maintain temperature. A high temperature from fever signals that your body is taking action against the infection/illness, but a low temperature means a lack of activity in the immune system. However, healthy body temperatures often falls significantly below the commonly cited value of 98.6°F, including as low as low as 96.9 °F. The currently accepted normal range for oral temperature is 98.2±1.3 °F and temperature may vary as much as ±1°F over the course of a day in a single healthy individual. The medical condition of hypothermia (low body temperature) is generally accepted as 95°F (35°C) or below.

Although it is commonly thought that 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is the average oral temperature for an adult, normal temperature can range from 97.1 degrees to about 99.5 degrees.

It is a good idea to determine your own normal body temperature by taking your temperature when you feel well. This can also be done during your regular doctor's visit, but it is best to do it yourself for a few reasons: Different thermometers can have slightly different results, and body temperature can change with weather, time of day, and physical activity. To understand your body temperature, take your healthy temperature multiple times in a variety of conditions, using the same thermometer.

Any temperature difference of more than a degree from your normal could be a fever.

The usual temperature of a healthy person is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are sick, then either your body temperature is higher or lower than that. If your body temperature is higher than that, then you have a fever.

A person's "normal" body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit can fluctuate 1 degree Fahrenheit or more above or below 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit depending on the location at which the temperature is taken. A spike in body temperature is a fever which would be an oral temperature in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit in an adult and 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit in a child. Brain damage can occur if the fever is over 107.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Hypothermia is when the body temperature falls below 97 degrees Fahrenheit.

A temperature of 36.8 degrees Celsius is not a bad body temperature. The normal body temperature is 37.1 degrees, so 36.8 is only a little lower than normal.

A temperature of 38 degrees Celsius is 100.4 Fahrenheit. That is only slightly elevated, but it depends on the individual and his or her age. It also depends on what other symptoms you are having. If you don't normally run 38 degrees, consider staying at home, drinking plenty of fluids, and staying in bed. If it persists, see a doctor.
