A member asked:
My temp is never 98.6 ever! sick or not it's usually 97 or even 96, is this normal?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: The average normal body temperature is set as 98.6. That is the temperature most people have. The range can be from 97.8 to 99. So know what is normal for you. Also remember that the temperature can vary on location taken. For example the temp under the arm is about one degree lower than core body temperature.
