A member asked:
My normal temperature is 97.5 degrees. should i be concerned if my temp is running 99.5 or does 99.5 mean i have an elevated temperature of 2 degrees and am running a fever?

For you,that is a temperature elevation,but not an official fever. How this is handled depends on what other symptoms you have,what exposures to illness,and how long it has been. If you have other symptoms or this is continuing, or you've been exposed to an infectious disease, such as Covid (especially if you're not vaccinated), please contact your doctor...if you're not vaccinated, please do so!
