The specific points are as follows:
The average normal body temperature is between 36 and 37℃ (underarm). If it exceeds this range, it means a fever; If it is lower than 38℃, it means low fever; If it is above 39℃, it means a high fever.
When measuring the body temperature, the mercury column of the thermometer should be thrown below 35℃ first, and then wiped with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol for disinfection. At present, most thermometers are held under the armpit to measure their body temperature, and young or unconscious children can use anus to measure their body temperature.
When measuring the temperature under the armpit, first wipe off the sweat under the armpit, then put the end of the thermometer with mercury column under the armpit and take it out after 5 minutes.
When looking at the thermometer, slowly turn it aside, draw a horizontal line, and observe the temperature scale displayed on the mercury column. The thermometer should be disinfected with 75% alcohol after use.
The temperature of normal people is higher in the morning than in the afternoon. Children born 1 month are 0.25℃ higher in the morning, and children aged 6 months are 0.5℃ higher in the morning, 1 year later 1℃.
