Q: Given a passage and a query based on the passage, generate an unambiguous, concise and simple answer to the query from information in the passage. Note that the answer may not be present in exact form.
Regular body temperature is 98.4F. (C x 1.8) + 32 = F 36.9C x 1.8 = 66.4 66.4 + 32 = 98.4F (F - 32) 1.8 = C 98.4F - 32 = 66.4 66.4 1.8 = 36.9C. The best type of thermometer or the best place to insert the thermometer, in some cases depends on your child's age. 1 Birth to 3 months. Use a regular digital thermometer to take a rectal temperature. 2 3 months to 4 years. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, a fever is indicated when body temperature rises about one degree or more over the normal temperature of 37.0 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). About This Image: Body temperature thermometer Adults: A fever is generally agreed to be present if: 1 Temperature in the mouth (oral) is at or over 37.7C (99.9F) 2 Temperature in the anus (rectum/rectal) is at or over 37.5 - 38.3C (99.5 - 100.9F) 3 Temperature under the arm (axillary) or in the ear (otic) is at or over 37.2C (99.0F) In fact, a serious infection, especially in infants, might cause no fever or even a low body temperature (below 97F or 36.1C). Because fevers can rise and fall, a child might have chills as the body's temperature begins to rise. The child may sweat to release extra heat as the temperature starts to drop. In general, contact your child's doctor if: 1 Your child is younger than age 3 months and has a rectal temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) or higher. 2 Your child is age 3 to 6 months and has a temperature up to 102 F (38.9 C) and seems unusually irritable, lethargic or uncomfortable, or has a temperature higher than 102 F (38.9 C). Your child is age 6 to 24 months and has a temperature higher than 102 F (38.9 C) that lasts longer than one day but shows no other signs. If your child has other signs, such as a cold, cough or diarrhea, you might call your child's doctor sooner based on their severity. Normal Body Temperature is Highly Variable Keep in mind, this number, whether it's 98.6 or 98.2 degrees F, is just an average. The human body has a wide range that is considered normal and each individual may have their own normal range. Therefore, a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is 1 180 of the interval between the freezing point and the boiling point. On the Celsius scale, the freezing and boiling points of water are 100 degrees apart. A temperature interval of 1 F is equal to an interval of 5 9 degrees Celsius. The normal core body temperature of a healthy, resting adult human being is stated to be at 98.6 degrees fahrenheit or 37.0 degrees celsius. Though the body temperature measured on an individual can vary, a healthy human body can maintain a fairly consistent body temperature that is around the mark of 37.0 degrees celsius. The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by Amsterdam-based physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (16861736), after whom the scale is named. It uses the degree Fahrenheit (symbol: F) as the unit. Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist. Body temperature in different units. 37 C is a value that one encounters probably more often than any other temperature reading. If you are used to the Celsius scale, you recognize it immediately. Indeed, a normal body temperature of a healthy person is in the vicinity of 37 degrees Celsius, which makes this value so special and important. For the Fahrenheit folks, you may know it as 98.6 F (as you can easily verify using our online converter). It is important to realize however that the 37 Celsius (or 98.6 Fahrenheit) value is essentially an averaged benchmark. What is normal depends on various factors, both objective and subjective. At least some of those factors should be taken into account when reaching conclusions about whether one's body temperature is normal. Query: how long is the regular body temperature in fahrenheit
A:
The regular body temperature is 98.4F.
