"dad, are you alright ?" i feel really weird when i read this, anyway even if Komachi do nothing in the house it look like she is good at taking care of Shikieiki
7.5 degrees... Seeing how the 4-koma is done in Japan, Celsius is definitely used, but a body temperature shouldn't be impossible... Unless, of course, the translator's note is right about it being a typo.
If any one of the six people who have edited notes on this comic had googled 7度5分, they would have found that it's commonly used to mean 37度5分 when referring to a fever. Not a typo, just a colloquialism.
Well, considering these guys are just translators and not actual Japanese people(or maybe asian for that matter), some misunderstanding of the Japanese way of measuring their temperature is rather understandable.

Today, I learned something about Japan... Gotta love the site for these moments...
37.5 Degrees? That's normal though, unless this is a completely different method of determining body temperature. Since here, 36-38 degrees is normal. As for 40 Degrees and above, that's pain right there, I've only had 40.2 Degrees, but it feels like your whole body is melting.
I don't know much about how many scales being used to measure heat but normally, 37 is human's body temperature. 40 then should be in the hospital already, might even start preparing a coffin, as far as I remember.

40º Celsius is a high fever, but nothing life-threatening by itself. If it goes over 44º then you should start worrying.
Normal body temperature is 36.6°C=97.9°F, may fall down a few tenths when sleeping, or rise a tiny bit during intense activity. Anything starting with 37.0°C=98.6°F is a fever. 38°C=100°F is usually high enough to take febrifugals. With 40°C=104°F, it'd be an accomplishment to stand up from your bed, assuming you have a very good reason to do so. With 44°C=111°F, it's safe enough to grab the boobs of the nearest shinigami.

I've always been told that 37.0°C=98.6°F is precisely standard healthy body temperature.

Indeed it actually varies a lot, it can even matter where in the world you live what the average body temp is. It is only a difference of .2+- degrees or so at average but it is still enough to change the value of when you have a 'fever' depending on where you live.
I for example have a naturally high temperature of 37.4°C and thus would be considered having a fever around the 38°C mark rather than on the skimming of the 37.5°C mark.
This is very different depending on the person as well so for one person that has a natural temperature of 36.8°C .7°c jump can be quite a difference. And there is also the fact that the temperature is possibly an indication of you being sick. The rise in temperature is due to the antibodies/your body defenses fighting a flue/virus/infection/etc. Increased temperature (without having done physically taxing stuff previously) is the body's signal that it is doing something that is outside the standard behavior of the internal system.
And even if it isn't a high rise in temperature you can still be very sick as the amount the body heats up during such phases differs a lot from person to person.
Dad, how do you feel?Thanks, I'm all right.I'm sorry,Ah, Onee-chan. Well...I probably gave you my cold.Mother is cooking something in the kitchen.H-hey, did something happen?37.5 degrees...
Celsius, or 99.5° Fahrenheit. Colloquial Japanese often uses only the ones and tenths digit (that is, 7.5) to represent fevers, since it's rare for a human body temperature to get above 40°C (104°F).INCIDENTEEEHHH!?
