ABOUT NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE & FEVER
Body temperature can vary from person to person. It also
varies on different parts of the body and time of day. The
following table shows the statistics of normal ranges from
different body parts. Please keep in mind that temperatures
measured from different parts, even at the same time,
should not be directly compared.
Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than
normal. This symptom may be caused by infection,
overdressing or immunization. Some people may not
experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but
are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old,
