1. The normal value of body temperature is a range: oral sublingual temperature is 37.0 (range 36.3--37.2), rectal temperature is 36.5--37.7 (0.3--0.5 higher than oral temperature), and axillary temperature is 36.0--37.0 (0.3--0.5 lower than oral temperature).

2. However, if the temperature of 37.6 degrees is not far from the critical value, the following physiological factors should also be considered: The change of human body temperature in a day: the lowest temperature is around 4 am and the highest temperature is around 6 pm. Therefore, an oral temperature of 37.5℃ measured in the morning can be considered a fever, but not necessarily in the evening. The "normal body temperature" of different people can differ by about 0.4℃. Premenopausal women experience regular changes in body temperature during their ovulation cycle.

What are the types of fever?

1. Persistent fever refers to a body temperature that is constantly maintained at a high level of 39-40°C or above for several days or weeks, and the body temperature fluctuation range within 24 hours does not exceed 1°C. It is common in lobar pneumonia, typhus and the high fever period of typhoid fever.

2. Remittent fever is also known as septicemic fever. The body temperature is often above 39°C, with large fluctuations, exceeding 2°C within 24 hours, but is always above normal levels. It is common in sepsis, rheumatic fever, severe pulmonary tuberculosis and purulent inflammation.

3. Intermittent fever: The body temperature rises suddenly to a peak and lasts for several hours, then quickly drops to normal levels. The afebrile period (intermittent period) can last from 1 day to several days. In this way, high fever and afebrile periods alternate repeatedly. Common in malaria, acute pyelonephritis, etc.

4. Undulant fever: The body temperature gradually rises to 39°C or above, then gradually drops to normal levels after a few days, and then gradually rises again after a few days, and this cycle repeats many times. Common in brucellosis.

There is actually no accurate definition of fever. Sometimes people only think that 37.5 is just a fever and it is not related to fever at all. However, different groups of people need to pay attention to different things. For people who are breastfeeding, it is better to pay more attention to prevent it from developing into a fever.
