Your Family Members’ Normal Temperature Range
Whilst normal temperature ranges by age are shown on page 5 of
this manual, every member of the family will have a slightly different
‘normal’ temperature range.
So it’s a good idea to build up a picture of those normal ranges for each
member of the family using your regular thermometer, no
matter what type or brand of thermometer you use.
This will help you and your medical practitioner when a family member is
unwell as you will have a far more reliable benchmark to compare against.
To do this, take temperature readings for each member of your family:
• At three different times of the day, such as 8am, 1pm and 6pm, but
always with at least five hour intervals;
• Over five different days;
• Always from the same body part;
• Always using the same thermometer;
• Always in the same room in your home.
Notes: Do not self-diagnose.
The use of any thermometer is not intended as a substitute for consultation with a
physician. If the temperature of a child under 6 months old reaches 40.0°C / 104.0°F
or more, consult a doctor immediately. Note that this danger level drops the older
the patient becomes.
