• Physical and, to a lesser extent, mental activities increase body temperature.
Beurer tip
Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person's temperature. If you are uncer-
tain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor.
This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as
agitation, heavy sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
