Is 37 degrees a low-grade fever?

37 degrees is not considered a low fever state. There are 3 main parts for measuring body temperature, which are oral temperature, rectal temperature and axillary temperature. Usually the body’s normal axillary body temperature is about 36 ° C ~ 37 ° C, and low fever generally refers to the axillary temperature reaches 37.3 ° C ~ 38 ° C, and the axillary positive body temperature compared to other parts of the body temperature is lower, so no matter measuring any part of the body temperature for 37 ° C is not a state of low fever. General oral temperature is mainly placed in the patient’s tongue thermometer, shut up for about 3 minutes to measure the results, the normal range is 36.3 ° C ~ 37.2 ° C. Measurement of rectal temperature is mainly the thermometer sterilized, coated with lubricating oil, and then inserted into the anus, about 3 minutes to measure the results of the normal value of the body temperature in this area than the oral temperature is higher than the temperature of 0.3 ° C ~ 0.5 ° C. The measurement of axillary body temperature is also lower than other parts of the body temperature, so no matter the measurement of any part of the 37 ° C is not a low fever state.
