My normal body temperature has always been 96.8-97.1 (46years) does that mean when the thermometer says 100 or higher my fever is higher than that of an average 98.6 temp person?
I feel like having fever but thermometer records no temperature?
My thermometer usually tells me my temperature is around 35.5 to 36 *C - considering that, would a temp of 37 be a fever for me, since it's quite higher than my normal?
I feel hot inside my body and in my palms and neck also. But when i checked with thermometer my temperature is 98.6 f. Is this is fever or anything ?
My body sometimes gets so hot like I have a high fever and it feels like burning when I touch it but when I check on thermometer, it shows normal 98 or 99 body temperature. What's happening to me?
