what is the temperature in fever?

Question

normally what is the average body temperature in fever for adults

Answer 1

A fever occurs when your temperature rises above its normal range. What's normal for you may be a little higher or lower than the average temperature of 37 C.(98.6F) That's why it's hard to say just what a fever is. But a "significant" fever is usually defined as an oral or ear temperature of 38 C or a rectal temperature of 39 C. If you're an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but it usually isn't dangerous unless it rises above 39 C. For very young children and infants, however, even slightly elevated temperatures may indicate a serious infection. In newborns, a subnormal temperature - rather than a fever - may be a sign of serious illness.


You don't know why you have a fever, it's best not to try to lower your temperature. This may only mask your symptoms and make it harder to determine the cause. In addition, some experts think that aggressively treating all fevers actually interferes with your body's immune response.



That's because the viruses that cause colds and other respiratory infections thrive at cool temperatures. By producing a low-grade fever your body may actually be helping eliminate the virus. What's more, most fevers go away in a relatively short time - usually within a few days.

WHAT IS NORMAL BODY TEMPERATURE?
Normal body temperature is about 37C (98.6F).
Body temperature varies throughout the day, following a regular cycle. The lowest body temperature occurs in the early morning hours (2am to 4am), and highest in late afternoon.
The difference between the lowest and highest temperature may be as much as 0.5C (1F).
Body temperature may also increase as a result of overdressing or strenuous exercise, specially during hot weather. Improper temperature taking may cause false alarm.

WHAT IS FEVER?
Fever is a temperature higher than normal.
A fever is indicated by: a rectal temperature equal to or higher than 38C (100F); or oral temperature equal to or higher than 37.5C (100.4F). (Definition of fever varies a little bit in various textbook. Never mind.)
Axillary temperatures are not very reliable and should be discouraged.
Ear Temperature is not yet a standard. The proper use of it should be referred to the instruction for each brand
