What is the normal temperature of a person?

What body temperature is considered normal for an adult? For kid? I answer your questions ...

Hello, doctor is good! I want you to tell what normal temperature should be in a person in childhood, which is an adult. And how it is necessary to measure the temperature, but then they measure the temperature and armpit, and in the mouth, and in the rear pass ... Is there a single temperature should be in different places of the body? Tell me, please! And then, after all, I asked to tell our precinct therapist about it, and in response he heard: "I have no time for these stories, and I don't pay money for these stories - you want to know - read books."

And where I find such books, it is asked ...

Hello!

Normal human body temperature

So, the normal temperature of the human body varies from 36.3 to 36.9º C.

Moreover, it should be noted that the process of self-regulation of body temperature is constantly occurring - thermoregulation ... When the temperature of the habitat environment increases, the human body by heat transfer (through the skin, lungs) is cooled. And vice versa.

In the brain (there is such a department of it - an intermediate brain) - here it is there and there is a center of thermoregulation ... There is also a vegetative metabolic center ... and it is surprisingly rational ...

The fact that it is time to change something, the center of thermoregulation learns with the help of special receptors, which are mostly located on the back: they are these most thermistors, reacting to the cold, cause an involuntary muscle contraction - what we often call chills. And these muscle contractions, in turn, accelerate the metabolism, resulting in carbohydrates and proteins begin to split with greater intensity ... As a result, the body temperature (and all internal organs and systems) increases.

If this causal relationship is broken, the body temperature decreases and this state is called hypothermia .. then the thermometer shows the temperature mark of 35.7º C and even less ...

Maybe you, my friends, will seem strange this information, but first of all the body temperature of a person can decrease due to a diet. A woman who has set the goal, eliminates the main fuel from the diet - fats and carbohydrates. At first, the body somehow copes with the lack of these important elements using domestic reserves. But, as they say, there is nothing eternal under the moon - these reserves are depleted, and then the body becomes not much of what to produce heat, nothing to heat himself.

Therefore, it is not necessary to be surprised that you have dropped temperatures after a week-other hungry diet or after a religious post.

And if you still climb from one simulator to another - consider that hypothermia is provided. After all, during the period of work on simulators, not only do not supply your body with carbohydrates and fats, but also ruthlessly throw their inventories "muscular" furnace during simulatory rhystal.

But it happens and so ... you are felighted and do not refuse yourself in small culinary and confectionery joys: chocolate candies and pastries are present daily on your desk ... However, the temperature dropped and does not want to rise. Remember, and didn't you abuse pills?

The fact is that some drugs can also provoke a decrease in body temperature with hypothermia. Sedative (soothing) means, antidepressants and sleeping pills - frequent provocateurs of hypothermia.

These drugs act on the central and slow down its work. In particular, these drugs oppress the involuntary reduction in receptors reacting to cold. As a result, they do not feel that it is time to start warming up. Muscular contractions (that is, the sensations of chill) does not occur, the body temperature, instead of improving, on the contrary, decreases.

The conclusion is simple: finding hypothermia, discontinue receiving any soothing and sleeping pills. The body temperature will increase as soon as the action of the pill swallowed on the day before. As a rule, this happens during the day.

If a woman does not experience themselves for strength with a diet and does not accept any drugs that we are talking about, and her body temperature has lowered, it will certainly be able to send foot to the doctor. We need to figure it out ...

It will not be possible to do it yourself, you can believe me ... You must turn to an experienced doctor and together and with him to reflect on what is happening ... After all, hypothermia can be the first symptom of problems with, with a hypothalamus. Hormones generated by these bodies-structures are responsible for the process of utilization of carbohydrates in the body. If they stop splitting, the thermometer column is inevitably descended.

And okay, if it were, if it were the greatest thing that could happen. In this case, the temperature will not come back to normal until the reason that caused its decrease is eliminated. Endocrinologist will help to cope with the problem. It will prescribe the necessary blood tests if it is necessary to conduct research and, after analyzing all the data obtained, prescribe hormonal drugs, which will make the work of the thyroid gland or hypothalamus.

And now I would like to tell you about you, my friends ... I can't keep silent about it ...

Perhaps the most, to put it mildly, an unpleasant disease, the manifestation of which it would seem a rapid decrease in temperature, is a neoplasm (tumor) in the brain, which occurs in the area of \u200b\u200bthe hypothalamus.

He is also responsible for heat exchange in the body and, if suddenly something begins to put it in the literal sense of the word, blocks chills, and with it, the splitting of carbohydrates and fats. And it is absolutely optional that it is. Benign also can cause hypothermia. Moreover, often she is the only disturbing bell that reports that the trouble comes.

And dizziness is very rarely joined by a fallen thermometer column at the initial stage of development of the neoplasm, usually these symptoms arise significantly later.

The earlier the person who discovered hypothermia would turn to the doctor, the better for him. After all, the chance of a cure, if we are talking about the problems of an oncological nature, is significantly higher at the initial stage of the development of the tumor process. This applies to any organ and system of the human body.

Unfortunately, in order to determine the presence of a tumor in the brain, any patient will have to go through a considerable number of doctors - therapist, endocrinologist, an ophthalmologist, etc., and people fall into a neurologist or neurosurigue doctor. To progress and do not miss precious time, you can independently sign up for a consultation to this specialist, without waiting for the polyclinic direction. And it is reasonable ...

And now attention ...

For a person, the body temperature is from 35.7 to 37.2 degrees, so there is no reason for panic. But if you have a sharply decreased dramatically lately, and the general condition has deteriorated, it is better to look for the reason.

Most often, the consequence of the recently transferred ORVI is manifested. But this symptom can also talk about anemia, reducing, diseases of the brain, severe infections, chronic bronchitis, violation of the functions of the thyroid gland. It will not be superfluous and such a council - do a general blood test and blood test for hemoglobin and thyroid hormones. Check out blood pressure, pulse. If everything is in order, it means ... everything is in order ...

For information: An indicator of 36.3-36.9 ° C is considered the rate for the temperature in the armpit. If you are used to measuring it in the oral cavity or in the rear pass (i.e., rectally), the numbers will be somewhat different. For example, in our mouth, we have significantly warmer - 36.8-37.3 ° C, and in the rear pass is still warmer - 37.3-37.7 ° C.

This temperature should be, Yuri Anatolyevich, in different parts of the human body.

How to relate to high temperatures from a child?

Irina Vyacheslavovna called me yesterday from the Perm Territory and asked how she was to do: a 4-year-old grandson, whom she left her daughter with a son-in-law, and went on vacation to the sea with her senior 9-year-old son, run-jumping. And she touched his forehead and felt that the forehead was hot ...

She was frightened and measured the temperature. Measured on the old man - I planted the grandson on his knees, put an ordinary mercury thermometer to his armpit, and began to tell him a fairy tale that the grandson sat for three minutes calmly. And I intended 37.8 degrees ... The question sounded in the handset as follows: "Oyu-Yoo, the doctor, what do we do?"

Are you afraid of a hot forehead baby? And the child with everything with all the fun, rushing out of the room into the room, jumps on the sofa.

I will tell you so, - an increased temperature is not always the signal of a starting disease.

The thermometer shows Z8 degrees, and the baby can be completely healthy at the same time: it is simply hot after excessively active games or jumps from the sofa to the carpet and vice versa. Take it next to you, read him an interesting fairy tale, let him look at the cartoon. After half an hour (not earlier, time is also needed to "cool"!) Measure the temperature again. Normal? Very well!

The temperature can increase not only in case of illness, but also because the child is too warm and just rose, drank hot tea, as well as after vaccinations or as a result of something ...

And nevertheless, it is necessary to show alertness, of course ... most often the causes of the body hyperthermia from the child are not so harmless, as if we wanted. Yes, and we usually put the thermometer with my own child after noticing if you noticed: the child became somehow sluggish, complains that he had something hurts. Such symptoms like a runny nose, cough, ears and throat, nausea or vomiting, pain in the tummy, diarrhea or rash on the skin in combination with high temperatures, talk about the presence of viral or bacterial infection.

Sometimes the temperature can increase, and the manifestations of the disease
Hidden - for example, with neurological and some other diseases.

If the temperature of the child above 38 degrees is celebrated within two days, and he does not complain about anything, it is necessary to show his doctor! Be sure! It is necessary to pass blood tests and urine. Only the doctor decides whether additional surveys are needed. And if you need, then what.

If the child's temperature in ORVI or an angina, the child has normalized, having pleased you, and a day later it raised again - alert ... perhaps, a complication begins to develop: say, angina, as a complication of IDV flow or inflammation of the lungs or. In this word, in this case, do not decide the diagnostic task yourself - be sure to call the doctor.

And more important information:

You must certainly call an ambulance if:

• the body temperature of the child reaches 40 ° C and above;
• at high temperatures, convulsions arise;
• there is a strong wet cough, and earlier the child was already sick with pneumonia;
• increased temperature is accompanied by severe vomiting and diarrhea;
• chronic diseases, lungs, kidneys, nervous system or blood are diagnosed as a child.
