Is a temperature of 37.2 to 37.3 at night considered a low fever?



The temperature at night was 37.2°C to 37.3°C, and there were no other physical symptoms that would be considered a low-grade fever.

Temperature measurement can be done by mouth temperature, axillary temperature, anal temperature, etc. The temperature of the mouth and anus should be slightly higher in order, the normal axillary temperature is 36-37 degrees, and 37.3 degrees or more is fever.

At present, the most commonly used temperature measurement is axillary temperature, the normal temperature range of axillary temperature is about 36℃~37.2℃. Generally body temperature fluctuates at different times of the day, and will be higher in the afternoon or evening. When measuring axillary temperature, keep still and wipe the armpits clean for about 5 minutes.

If the body temperature is 37.2℃ to 37.3℃ in the evening and there are no other symptoms, then it is normal and follow-up observation can be done. If there is coughing, sputum, and the temperature continues to rise, then it is considered to be the case of fever.

If there is any discomfort during the follow-up observation, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
