Other symptoms.: Have you developed any new symptoms anyplace? Also, if you've been having episodes of chills and sweats it may suggest you're having a fever.

There are many: potential signs of illness other than a fever. A fever is rarely the only symptom of sickness. If you feel perfectly fine, there is no need to monitor your temperature.

I was sick and my thermometer noted my temp at 108. Could thateven be possible?
Not sick- but had 100.6 temp, then 99.7 then 98.6 in span of 30 minutes. Used different thermometers to check. Not on meds.Why body fluctuates temp?
My usual body temperature is always 97.5/6- on any thermometer. Is this strange that it's so low? Even when I'm sick it never goes above 99
Silly question. I have 3 sick boys at home. I bought a new rectal thermometer and in my exhaustion forgot to wash it before using it. Should i worry?
What could be the cause of generally feeling ill? Like feeling like i'm running a low grade fever, but the thermometer reads normal.
