What is the normal body temperature of the healthy person in degree celsius ?
Solution
A normal body temperature ranges from 36.4∘C to 37.6∘C. And it is mostly represented in degrees fahrenheit (∘F). And temperature over 100∘F means a person has a fever (in this case one should need to consult a doctor).
Complete step by step solution
The average normal body temperature of the healthy person is accepted as 98.6∘F (37∘C).
Mostly we represent the body temperature in ∘F rather than ∘C. Some studies show that the normal body temperature has a wide range from 97∘F(36.1∘C) to 99∘F(37.2∘C). If the body temperature raises over 100.4∘F(38∘C) then the person is suffering from fever.Our body acts like a furnace, that puts out heat all the time. When the amount of heat going out from the body increases or decreases rather than being in a particular temperature range which is 97∘F(36.1∘C) to 99∘F(37.2∘C) then it will results into fever.
Our temperature reading changes based on where (on body) it is being measured. Underarm readings can be a degree lower than the readings found by measuring by mouth. Rectal temperatures usually are up to a degree higher than mouth readings.
A body temperature higher than our normal range is a fever. It is hypothermia when the body temperature dips too low. In both cases there would be a need to consult a doctor.
Note: The normal body temperature can vary from one person to another. Sometimes a normal adult can have a low body temperature such as 36∘C(96∘F) and still can be fit. So it is not fixed for everyone.
