Natural body temperature In the nineteenth century, the natural standard for body temperature was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius), but recent studies have set another standard body temperature of 98.2 degrees Fahrenheit (36.7 degrees Celsius). As for the average body temperature of an adult, it ranges from 97 degrees Fahrenheit to 99 degrees Fahrenheit (36.1 degrees Celsius to 37.2 degrees Celsius), and for infants and children the ideal temperature for them ranges from 97.9 degrees Fahrenheit to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (36.6 degrees Celsius to 38 degrees Celsius).
Body temperature changes during the day for several reasons, including: the extent of physical activity, the time when body temperature is measured, age, gender, the menstrual cycle in women, and the food and drink consumed.
Reasons for the high body temperature heat stroke:
Causes of high body temperature Sunstroke Sunstroke occurs when the body fails to control its own temperature so that it continues to rise, and symptoms of sunstroke include confusion, delirium, loss of consciousness, redness of the skin, heat, and dryness in all areas of the body even under the armpits . Sunstroke can be fatal, due to severe dehydration, as the body parts stop working altogether, so a person may sometimes need urgent medical treatment.
fever :
Fever begins in most adults when the temperature of the mouth or armpits rises to 37.6 ° C (99.7 ° F), or when the temperature at the ear rises to 38.1 ° C (100.6 ° F), while the child suffers from a fever when the temperature of the rectum (Anus) has 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 degrees Fahrenheit), or when the underarm temperature rises to 37.6 degrees Celsius (99.7 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher.
Low body temperature:
Hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses its temperature, and the body temperature is considered low when it reaches 95 Fahrenheit (35 ° C) or less, and when the body temperature drops, the heart, nervous system, and other organs cannot function as Naturally, its decrease can eventually lead to complete failure of the heart and respiratory system, sometimes to death, and hypothermia often occurs due to exposure to cold weather, or cold water, and the first treatment is to warm the body until it reaches the normal temperature.
