Subject: Tmax or temperature maximum

OK to use Tmax and if so, is it T max or Tmax?  Do you instead use temperature maximum when dictated Tmax? 


TIA.

Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.


Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).


The combination of chlorpheniramine and pseudoephedrine is used to treat sneezing, cough, runny or stuffy nose, itchy or watery eyes, hives, skin rash, itching, and other symptoms of allergies and the common cold.

Body temperature
Subject: Body temperature

Dictator states the patient's temperature is 75.7.  (Patient is having a surgical consult for abdominal pain).  This is the third time in as many weeks I've had physician dictate a body temperature in the 70s.  Celsius temp is normally in the 30s, Farenheit - of course - is normally in the high 90s.  Am I missing something here?  Is there some other temperature scale I don't know about?  So far I've flagged them as blanks.


Thanks!
