The absolute numbers given are not alarming. You would be quite dramatically ill if you had sepsis. You may wish to bring your temperature record with you to your primary care physician and bring a list of the concerns that have you checking your temperature frequently and intermittently. Is there something you are worried about? Be sure your physician knows what is on your mind.
