But the temperature readings vary depending on which one you use, and you need an accurate body temperature to determine if a fever is present. The average normal oral temperature is 98.6Â°F (37Â°C) . 2  A rectal temperature is 0.5Â°F (0.3Â°C) to 1Â°F (0.6Â°C) higher than an oral temperature. 3  An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.5Â°F (0.3Â°C) to 1Â°F (0.6Â°C) higher than an oral temperature.
