Core Temperature: A recital temperature is considered a core temperature, or as-good-as-it-gets. So stick with the temperature you see. Also, toddlers typically feel warm, but their body temperature is the same as anyone else.

Is there a reason that my body temperature feels as though it's higher if I get 4 hours of sleep or less the night before? A small amount of sleep one night always makes me feel warmer the next day, but temp readings are always normal..?

Every night, my body temp goes up to 99.8-100F. Normal temp by morning. My neck and back also feel hot to touch at night when I get higher temperature. This has gone on for months. Is this normal temp fluctuation, anxiety, or should I be worried?

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?
