What is the normal fever

We all know that when the human body is sick, it is particularly easy to cause a fever, but everyone's physique is different, so everyone's body temperature is also different. Generally, the normal body temperature is between 36 degrees and 37 degrees. If it is higher than 37 degrees, it is a bit of a low fever. The temperature of the human body's mouth, armpits and other parts is also different, so when measuring, the temperature of different parts is also different. So what is the normal fever?

Body temperature is not different in spring, summer, autumn and winter

The normal axillary temperature of a person is 30￣37 degrees, the oral temperature is 0.2￣0.4 degrees higher than the axillary temperature, and the rectal temperature is 0.3￣0.5 degrees higher than the oral temperature.

The body temperature is relatively constant. A normal person's body temperature fluctuates slightly within 24 hours, generally with a difference of no more than 1 degree. Under physiological conditions, body temperature is slightly lower in the morning and slightly higher in the afternoon. The body temperature is slightly higher after exercise, eating, before menstruation or during pregnancy for women, while the body temperature is lower in the elderly. A body temperature higher than normal is called fever. 37.5￣38 degrees is low fever, 38￣39 degrees is moderate fever, 39￣40 degrees is high fever, and above 40 degrees is very high fever. A relatively constant body temperature is one of the important conditions for maintaining normal life activities. If the body temperature is higher than 41 degrees or lower than 25 degrees, it will seriously affect the functional activities of various systems (especially the nervous system) and even endanger life. The body's heat production and heat dissipation are regulated by the nerve center. Many diseases can cause the normal temperature regulation function to be disrupted and cause changes in body temperature. In clinical practice, checking the patient's body temperature and observing its changes are important for diagnosing diseases or judging the prognosis of certain diseases.

The initial symptoms of a child's fever are red face, hot forehead, cold hands and feet, and poor spirits. In addition, there are symptoms of various systems, such as runny nose, sore throat, and cough in respiratory tract infections, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea in gastroenteritis, and frequent urination, painful urination, and low back pain in urinary tract infections. The accompanying symptoms of various systems in infants are atypical, and may only include anorexia, vomiting, and diarrhea. There are many diseases that cause fever. Parents should pay attention to the pattern of their children's fever and accompanying symptoms, and go to the hospital for examination in time and receive early treatment. The normal body temperature of the human body is 36-37℃. 37-38℃ is a low fever, 38-39℃ is a moderate fever, above 39℃ is a high fever, and above 40℃ is an extremely high fever. Director Li suggested that young mothers should not panic when they find their children have a fever, but can take some emergency measures at home to relieve the symptoms.

Every family should have a thermometer and antipyretics for emergency use. Children with fever should have their temperature measured every 1-2 hours. It is not advisable to use antipyretics when the child's temperature is below 38.5℃; when the temperature exceeds 38.5℃, physical therapy such as cooling patches or ice compresses can be used to reduce the temperature, or children's cooling tablets can be taken in appropriate amounts; when the temperature exceeds 39℃, the child should stay in bed, open the quilt or loosen the clothes to expose the skin, place an ice pack or a cold wet towel on the head, and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible; in the event of high fever convulsions, the child will have eyes staring or rising, loss of consciousness, unresponsiveness to calls, cyanosis of the lips, face and body, and convulsions of the limbs. Parents should immediately press the child's "Ren Zhong" acupoint (at the midpoint of the nasolabial groove), and continue strong stimulation for 1-3 minutes until the child cries, and then use the above method to quickly reduce the temperature, and also go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. Babies under six months old generally do not receive antipyretic injections or take antipyretic medicine when they have a high fever. The best way to reduce the temperature is a warm water sponge bath. Regardless of whether the fever subsides after emergency treatment, the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment.
