OverviewHumans are endothermic. This means our bodies produce their own heat, constantly regulating the core temperature to keep things in balance. The body does this unconsciously and automatically, but sometimes it fails. When the balance is broken, the body can become too hot or too cold – either of which usually indicating the onset of illness.Your core body temperature varies depending on several factors. Most sources will tell you that that the human body should have a core temperature of around 37⁰C *. While this is indeed the case, it’s worth recognizing that it is an average and each person’s body operates slightly differently. In fact, the actual numbers may depend on how old you are and various other factors, such as the time of day, physical movement, and sustenance. So if your temperature varies by a degree or so from this average it is not necessarily a cause for concern. It’s also worth noting what the averages are for different people in your family.A newborn baby (0-3 months) will have a temperature reading of between 36 – 37.6⁰C when taken in the ear which is lower than the adult average**. This is also similar for prepubescent children.In older people(65 years and over), body temperature drops slightly from the adult average of around 37⁰C to 35.8⁰C *.When pregnant, women can have a slightly higher than average. Temperature may also go up or down depending on a woman’s menstrual cycle, so keep this in mind if you’re ever taking a reading***.Slight variances are common, as many harmless conditions can raise or lower body temperature. Exercise will raise it, for example, as will consuming hot food and drink. The time of day may also cause slight differences as the body grows more active towards the afternoon and starts to warm up.The Braun ThermoScan is designed to take the body temperature of your family in a fast, gentle and easy to use way and give you some peace of mind when your child comes down with a fever. Used by more pediatricians' offices than any other thermometer brand, the ThermoScan features a pre-warmed tip that improves accuracy, a unique guidance system that ensures precise results, and infrared technology that takes your child's temperature in seconds.
