A member asked:
These past few days my temperature has been in between 97.1-97.6 is that normal? and why is it so low?

Measurement: How are you measuring your temperature? Your actual body temperature correlates most closely with a rectal temperature. Oral temperatures tend to run lower than actual temperature, and other locations of measurement drop off significantly in accuracy and precision. With a temperature of 97.1 I wouldn't worry about it. It most likely reflects imprecision in measurement.
