Basics of Your ThermometerNormal Body TemperatureTroubleshootingnormal foreheadtemp rangeTemperature readings are different from person to person and also varydepending upon the body location from which the temperature is measured.Forehead temperatures tend to be comparable to oral temperatures andapproximately 1˚ lower than rectal temperatures for the same individual.Temperature readings are affected by many factors including exercise, drinking hotor cold beverages prior to taking a reading as well as technique.“Normal” temperature refers to each individual’s average temperature while healthy.You may want to measure and record your child’s temperature a few times when heor she is well, so that you will know what is normal for your own child.
