The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. The typical daytime temperatures among healthy adults are as follows: Temperature in the rectum (rectal), vagina, or in the ear (tympanic) is about 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) [20] [medical citation needed] Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) [12]

Reference ranges for blood pressure (BP) in children [29] Stage Approximate age Systolic BP, mmHg Diastolic BP, mmHg Infants 0–12 months: 75–100: 50–70 Toddlers and preschoolers 1–5 years: 80–110: 50–80 School age 6–12 years: 85–120: 50–80 Adolescents 13–18 years: 95–140: 60–90
In humans, hyperthermia is defined as a temperature greater than 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F), depending on the reference used, that occurs without a change in the body's temperature set point. [3] [10] The normal human body temperature can be as high as 37.7 °C (99.9 °F) in the late afternoon. [2]

In contrast there is no evidence that blood pressure needs to be lowered rapidly in hypertensive urgencies, where there is no evidence of target organ damage; over-aggressive reduction of blood pressure is not without risks. [3] Use of oral medications to lower the BP gradually over 24 to 48h is advocated in hypertensive urgencies. [4]
