Hello, body temperature is one indicator used to assess whether a bacterial infection is present. Temperature is typically measured at the axilla (armpit), forehead, or rectum. A normal rectal temperature is generally considered to be below 37.3°C, while normal axillary and forehead temperatures are typically below 37°C.
