The normal body temperature range for children varies depending on the measurement site. Generally, the normal oral temperature ranges from 36.3°C to 37.2°C, rectal temperature from 36.5°C to 37.5°C, and axillary (underarm) temperature from 36.1°C to 37°C. It should be noted that these values are not absolute, as body temperature may fluctuate due to factors such as age, time of day, gender, and emotional state. Additionally, it is important to use the correct method and measure body temperature under appropriate conditions and at consistent times.
