Temperature Conversion Chart
There are two scales used for taking temperature: Fahrenheit (F) and Centigrade (C).
Temperature measurement using modern scientific thermometers and temperature scales goes back at least as far as the early 18th century, when Gabriel Fahrenheit adapted a thermometer and a scale both developed by Ole...

Fever (High Temperature) in Children
Most fevers (high temperatures) in children are not serious and are due to the common infections of childhood such as coughs, colds and other viral infections.
Constitutional Temperature (Extreme Negative): Overview
You have a very Cold Constitutional Temperature. Some of the following suggestions may contradict others given elsewhere in this report. If so, you must decide which are the most important.
Fever refers to an elevation in body temperature. Technically, any body temperature above the normal oral measurement of 98.6 F (37 C) or the normal rectal temperature of 99 F (37.2 C) is considered to be elevated.
Some medications may interfere with the body's ability to tolerate temperature extremes because they affect parts of the brain responsible for temperature regulation.

Temperature and Humidity
Extremes of temperature and humidity can be a problem for people with atopic dermatitis. Sweating caused by overheating and high humidity can irritate the skin. Low humidity causes water to be lost from the skin.
Temperature may be elevated by acute rheumatic fever or cardiac infection (eg, endocarditis). After MI, low grade fever is very common. Other causes are sought only if fever persists > 72 h.

The temperature is lowered to subnormal levels for some length of time, resulting in near frostbite. Severe numbness and loss of function may occur if the problem is not dealt with. Colds, flu, and infection can result.
The temperature at which the limb is kept, no doubt, favours and hastens the natural process of destruction, so that putrefaction shows itself sooner than would be the case with a dead tissue removed from the body and kept at a lower temperature.
BODY TEMPERATURE
Normal body temperature does not change significantly with aging. However, as you get older, it becomes more difficult for the body to control its temperature. Loss of subcutaneous fat makes it harder to maintain body heat.
Body temperature above 98.6° F.
