Is a body temperature of 36.7°C normal?

　　Under normal circumstances, a body temperature of 36.7℃ is usually considered normal. The detailed analysis is as follows:

　　The normal human body temperature may vary slightly depending on the measurement site. Generally, the normal range for sublingual (oral) temperature is 36.3℃ to 37.2℃, the normal range for rectal temperature is 36.5℃ to 37.7℃, and the normal range for axillary (underarm) temperature is 36.1℃ to 37℃. A temperature of 36.7℃ falls within the normal range whether measured orally, rectally, or axillary. However, body temperature can also be influenced by various factors—for example, body temperature fluctuates throughout the day, typically being lower in the early morning and slightly higher in the afternoon, although the variation is generally no more than 1℃. Additionally, physical activity, eating, and emotional excitement can temporarily elevate body temperature. Although 36.7℃ is within the normal range, if there is an increase in body temperature accompanied by symptoms such as headache, cough, or fatigue, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and follow the advice of a healthcare professional for treatment.

　　In daily life, one should pay attention to changes in body temperature and adjust clothing according to temperature variations to avoid catching a chill.
