Fever indicates that the body temperature is higher than normal. This symptom may be caused by
infection, overdressing or immunization. Some people may not experience fever even when they are
ill. These include, but are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old, persons with compro-
mised immune systems, persons taking antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen,
acetaminophen), or persons with certain chronic illnesses. Please consult your physician when you feel
ill even if you do not have a fever.
Body temperature can vary from one individual/person to next. It also varies by location on the body
and time of day. Below shows the statistical normal ranges from different sites. Please keep in mind
that temperatures measured from different sites, even at the same time, should not be directly
compared.
