When talking of body temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, 99.6 is basically a doorstep to a low-grade fever. This kind of temperature might indicate a low grade infection, so it's always best to check with your doctor if you observe your body temp. to be higher than 99.6 degrees.

What is a child's normal body temperature?

it should be the normal temperature of any body part: 98.6First of all, an oral temp is normally 98.6 and the anus is about 90. The armpit is about 92. So all body parts are different. For the forehead, a temperature just below 100 degrees F is normal. I hope this helped :)

Is a body temperature of 96.1 normal?

Normal human body temperature, also known as normothermia or euthermia, is a concept that depends upon the place in the body at which the measurement is made, and the time of day and level of activity of the body. Although the value 37.0 C (98.6 F) is the commonly accepted average core body temperature, the value of 36.8±0.7 °C, or 98.2±1.3 °F is an average oral (mouth under the tongue) measurement. Rectal measurements, or measurements taken directly inside the body cavity, are typically slightly higher.


What food provides the body heat and energy?

The normal core body temperature of a healthy, resting adult human being is stated to be at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37.0 degrees celsius. Though the body temperature measured on an individual can vary, a healthy human body can maintain a fairly consistent body temperature that is around the mark of 37.0 degrees celsius. The normal range of human body temperature varies due to an individuals metabolism rate, the higher (faster) it is the higher the normal body temperature or the slower the metabolic rate the lower the normal body temperature. Other factors that might affect the body temperature of an individual may be the time of day or the part of the body in which the temperature is measured at. The body temperature is lower in the morning, due to the rest the body received, and higher at night after a day of muscular activity and after food intake. Body temperature also varies at different parts of the body. Oral temperatures, which are the most convenient type of temperature measurement, is at 37.0 °C. This is the accepted standard temperature for the normal core body temperature. Axillary temperatures are an external measurement taken in the armpit or between two folds of skin on the body. This is the longest and most inaccurate way of measuring body temperature, the normal temperature falls at 97.6 °F or 36.4 °C. Rectal temperatures are an internal measurement taken in the rectum, which fall at 99.6 °F or 37.6 °C. It is the least time consuming and most accurate type of body temperature measurement, being an internal measurement. But it is definitely, by far, not the most comfortable method to measure the body temperature of an individual.
