Q: is 95 degreess a normal temp for a child?

Temp: 95 degrees can be a normal temp, but it can also represent a very ill child. If the child is happy and playful, i wouldn't worry. Then there is always the possibility that you did not read the temp correctly or the thermometer wasn't properly placed.

Q: my normal temp is 96 is this ok temp had 96 for years?

It's fine: That is fine if you feel well and have no symptoms, particularly if you had that temperature for years. There is nothing special with 98.6. That is only an average of "normal" people's temps. That means, normal temp will run higher in some and lower in others.

Q: normal temp for a 8 year old?

Depends on how taken: A normal temperature for an 8 year old is the same as an adult: 98.6 degrees, fahrenheit if taken orally. An axillary temperature (under the arm) tends to be 0.5 degrees lower, while a rectal temperature is 0.5 degrees higher and a tympanic (ear) temperature can be 0.5-1 degree higher. I find that tympanic thermometers are not as accurate, especially if the ear drum is hot from an ear infection.

Q: wat is the normal temp for the human body?

Some basics: Most published standards reflect the "core" temperature, or that which would be found by a probe in the anus or bloodstream. Oral &amp; armpit readings can be lower depending on technique. The body also cycles higher in the afternoon (activity) and lower early morning (sleep). 97.7F (36.5C) to 99.5F (37.5) are norms. Most physicians do not consider it fever unless &gt;100.4F (38C)

Q: normal temp. 98.4 skin very hot to the touch. no other sx. concern?

Probably normal: Most likely there is no concern if your temperature is normal, and you have no other symptoms. I don't know how you took your temperature, but rectal temperature can be the most accurate. Make sure your thermometer is working correctly also. If no other symptoms develop, you are probably ok. Follow up with your PCP if any symptoms develop.

Q: my normal temp. is 97.6 if my thermometer says 99.2 it's the same as someone whos normal temp. is 98.6 having a temp. of 100.2?

Fever: It means you have a fever and that it is 99.2 degrees.

Q: is a rectal temperature 1 higher than a normal temp? also what time does the body temperature peek?. do tod dlers have a higher body temperature?
