Hello,
The body temperature of 37.5 °C is high and it is not normal. You should get checked for infection doing a total blood count and urine sample. Also you should check your thyroid function because hyperthyroidism may cause elevated body temperature.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
