A member asked:

Why don't i run fevers? my norm is around 96.5. got to 99.6 last nt with chills and went straight to bed. my head feels hot, but no fever.

Body Temp: Everyone runs different temps. If your normal is in the 96 range and you jump up three degrees, sounds like you have a fever or infection to me. It would be as if you had a 98 range and jumped up three degrees.
