Answer 1

Usually increased body temperature meens infection somewhere. temperature by the mouth is only so accurate. You need to not eat or drink for 20 minutes before you take it, Also, I wouldnt be concerned until it started moving over 100-101.

Answer 2

Normal body temperature is 37C or 98.6F. So your temp of 95.6 is quite low.

Most bacteria and viruses that cause infections in humans thrive best at 98.6 degrees F (37C). Raising the temperature a few degrees can give the body the winning edge. In addition, a fever activates the body's immune system, accelerating the production of white blood cells, antibodies, and many other infection-fighting agents.


Brain damage from a fever will not occur unless the fever is over 107.6 degrees F (42C) for an extended period of time. Many also fear that untreated fevers will keep going higher and higher, up to 107 degrees F or even more. Untreated fevers caused by infection will seldom go over 105 degrees.


While 98.6 degrees F is considered the normal core body temperature, this value varies between individuals and throughout the day. A person's baseline temperature is usually highest in the evening. Body temperature, especially in children, is normally raised by physical activity, strong emotion, eating, heavy clothing, elevated room temperature, and elevated humidity. A rectal temperature up to 100.4 degrees F (38C) may be entirely normal (no fever). A rectal temperature of 100.5 or above should be considered a fever. Lower values might be a fever.


A fever does not necessarily need to be treated. Drink plenty of fluids and rest. Steps should be taken to lower a fever if other symptoms like vomiting, dehydrated, or having difficulty sleeping.occurs. The goal is to bring the temperature between about 100 and 102 degrees F -- not to eliminate the fever.


When trying to reduce a fever, first remove excess clothing or blankets. The environment should be comfortably cool (one layer of light weight clothing, and one lightweight blanket to sleep). Two medicines are useful for reducing fevers; acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin). Acetaminophen is given every 4-6 hours, and works by turning down the brain's thermostat. Ibuprofen is given every 6-8 hours, and helps fight the inflammation at the source of the fever. It is not approved for children under 6 months. Both medicines may be given for stubborn fevers, but be very careful about using the correct dose of each.

A lukewarm bath or sponge bath may help cool a febrile child (after medication is given -- otherwise the temperature bounces right back up). Cold baths or alcohol rubs cool the skin, but often make the situation worse by causing shivering, which raises the core body temperature.

While caring for yourself with a fever, remember the shadows of the many generations before ours- when a fever would break a mother's heart. The fever was the body's desperate attempt to save the child. Remember now that fever is a friend -- alerting us to potential problems, activating the immune system, and fighting bacteria and viruses

Be wary of what's labeled "normal" when it comes to human anatomy and physiology. I can tell you after 22 years in health care it's more rare to see a perfect 98.6 than to see anything 1.5 degrees greater or less. The same goes for pulse, blood pressure, etc.
The rule of thumb is, worry a little about temp > 100, see a doc >101, >102 go to the ER.

Answer 4

Its not carved in stone that your normal temp is or has to be 98.6. Its recognized as an average, but you may be a little under, or even a little over and still be normal.
In females an elevated temp for a few days a month is a common sign of ovulation... when she's more likely to get pregnant.

Answer 5

You could have an inaccurate thermometer.

Anyways, the normal is 98.6 but other people normals can range 1 or 2 degrees.

As for you, you're all over the place temperature wise.

Answer 6

98.6 degrees is more of an average temperature. Our body's actual temperature will fluctuate throughout the day depending on where we are and what we are doing.

Answer 7

Body temperature really fluctuates throughout the day, I think its totally normal!

Answer 8

be careful of what's categorized "broadly used" jointly because it consists of human anatomy and physique shape. i will inform you after 22 years in wellbeing care it quite is larger uncommon to artwork out an ideal ninety 8.6 than to artwork out something one million.5 tiers extra suitable appropriate or much less. the comparable is going for pulse, blood tension, etc. the guidance of thumb is, worry a splash approximately temp > one hundred, see a record >one 0 one, >102 bypass to the ER.
