What does your : Temperature normally run? Is this a change for you? Do you feel ill? My normal temp is about 97 degrees -so that wouldn't be such a big change. What that temp means has to be viewed in context.

No: The average temperature is 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. Temperatures are known to fluctuate throughout the day. There is also a wide variance between where the temperature is taken (forehead, mouth, armpit, rectum). If you feel fine and repeat temperatures are similar, there is little to worry about.
