A member asked:
My body temp. measured orally is between 96.8degs.f&97.2degs.f.this is below the normal temp. which is 98.6 degs.f. do i have infection or a problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal temperature: You misunderstand normal temperature. 98.6 is the average in testing hundreds of people; and it's also roughly the average in most individuals whose temperatures are measured several times through the day and night. Everybody's temp is sometimes as low as 96.0 or as high as about 99.6. The temperatures you report in this question do not indicate a health problem of any kind.
