A member asked:
My body temp was checked at work and was 18.4 degrees and after an hour it was 24.6 degrees, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but: All temperatures are reported on scales such as Celsius or Fahrenheit. Normal body temperatures are around 36 degrees C and/or high 90's Fahrenheit. The reported readings sound more like room temperatures in degrees Celsius and are not likely to be accurate readings for body temperature in either scale.
