What is the normal temperature for an adult?

The normal human body temperature should be between 36 and 37 degrees. When measuring the body temperature, the thermometer must be shaken to below 35 degrees, and then placed under the armpit after cleaning for room temperature. For younger children or unconscious children, the high-door temperature test method will be more accurate. There are correct rules for body temperature, and after understanding it clearly, you can know whether there is a high fever or a low fever.

The normal body temperature of the human body is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius on average (axillary). Exceeding this range is fever, below 38 degrees Celsius is low fever, and above 39 degrees Celsius is high fever. Above this, it is dangerous. The average temperature is between 36 and 37 degrees Celsius.

When measuring body temperature, you should first shake the mercury column on the thermometer to below 35°C, and then wipe and disinfect it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Nowadays, most people test the temperature by holding the thermometer under the armpit. For young or unconscious children, the rectal temperature can be measured.

When measuring the temperature under the armpit, wipe off the sweat in the armpit first, then place the end of the thermometer with the mercury column under the armpit and clamp it, then take it out after 5 minutes. When measuring rectal temperature, first apply some oil on the round tip of the rectal thermometer for lubrication, then slowly insert it into the anus to a depth of about 2 cm, and remove it after 3 minutes. When measuring rectal temperature, hold the thermometer with your hand to prevent the child from breaking the thermometer and injuring the anus.

When looking at a thermometer, you should hold it horizontally and rotate it slowly, taking the horizontal line to observe the temperature scale indicated by the mercury column. After use, the thermometer should be disinfected with 75% alcohol.

The normal body temperature is generally higher in the morning than in the afternoon. The morning temperature of a one-month-old baby is 0.25℃ higher than in the afternoon, the morning temperature of a six-month-old baby is 0.5℃ higher than in the afternoon, and the temperature of a baby over one year old is 1℃ higher.

Neurological aspects:

The "sensors" in women's skin are more sensitive than those in men's, and women have the mission of reproducing offspring. During pregnancy, the fetus in the uterus needs a constant temperature environment, and the uterus is inside the torso, so the woman's torso needs to be more carefully protected. To achieve this goal, the "sensors" in women's skin must be more sensitive

2. Hormones:

The female ovary forms a corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone, which can cause the body temperature to rise. The body temperature regulation center is extremely sensitive to the effects of progesterone (also known as progesterone). A certain amount of progesterone (12,8nmol/L) can cause the body temperature to rise.
