Introduction
Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of 36.7°C is considered normal. Human body temperature generally ranges between 36–37°C. The normal temperature measured orally typically falls between 36.3–37.2°C, while the normal temperature measured rectally usually ranges from 36.5–37.7°C. Normal body temperature is not a specific fixed value; if the body temperature is 36.7°C and there are no discomfort symptoms, it indicates that the temperature is within the normal range.
Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of 36.7°C is considered within the normal range. Specifically:
Typically, human body temperature ranges between 36–37°C. When measured orally, the normal temperature should be between 36.3–37.2°C, while rectal measurement usually yields a normal range of 36.5–37.7°C. Normal body temperature is not a single fixed value but rather a range. Therefore, a temperature of 36.7°C without any discomfort symptoms indicates normal health. Clinically, axillary (underarm) temperature above 37.3°C up to 38°C is diagnosed as low-grade fever. If you suddenly feel feverish and experience bodily discomfort, it may be due to a common cold. It is recommended to take cold medications such as compound paracetamol and amantadine tablets or ibuprofen tablets as directed by a physician.
Patients are advised to maintain a positive mood, rest adequately, and adjust clothing according to temperature changes in daily life to avoid catching a chill.
