In order to make a correct judgement of suspected fever conditions, it is 
important to learn the normal temperatures of family members by measuring
their temperatures when they are in good physical condition.

The temperature measured in the ear is different to that measured rectally.
Please use the normal as the standard for understanding the temperature 
difference during fever.

One speaks of normal body temperature if the measurement value lies within
a certain range. Body temperature varies however according to age.
