Hello Novita,
Thank you for the question.
Normal body temperature values may differ depending on the measurement location. For example, if you check under the fold of the armpit, the normal value is around 35.5 to 37.1 degrees Celsius. When checking is done on the ear, the normal value is around 35.7 to 37.5 degrees Celsius. So far, in any area of the body you check your body temperature, the results can remain accurate as long as it's done with a standardized thermometer and in the right way according to the instructions for use.
Different body temperature measurement results because the different measurement locations don't seem to be confused. As long as your body temperature still does not exceed 37.5 degrees Celsius, it seems that your condition is not dangerous.
The burning sensation that you experience around the face may be purely caused by excessive heat exposure in the area (such as when you are out of outdoor activities). It could also be that this burning sensation indicates an infection, skin irritation, hormonal disorders, psychological disorders, drug effects, electrolyte balance disorders, inflammation disorders, nerve disorders, heat stroke, and many other medical disorders.
Our advice, try to do a re-examination of your body temperature. If your body temperature rises more than 37.5 degrees Celsius, you can reduce it by taking the drug Paracetamol. Compress your hot, cold face. Do not forget, multiply rest, drink at least 2-3 liters of water a day, avoid contact between facial skin with substances that are allergenic or irritating, do not over-stress or worry too much, do not smoke, and do not take drugs carelessly without doctor's advice.
If you find your body temperature continues to increase for more than 3 days, or accompanied by other complaints that are more severe, do not hesitate to check yourself directly to the doctor, yes. If necessary, the doctor can refer you to a doctor of internal medicine, nerves, or specialists other ways to get the right management.
I hope this helps.
