temperatures vary from person to person and at different times of the day.
My normal temperature is between 98.1 and 98.4.

Back in the 1800s, ONE doctor took the temperatures of 100 patients, averaged that, and came up with 98.6. Unfortunately, many health care professionals labor under the false impression than ANYTHING above or below 98.6 is not "normal"
When I was in the Army, my temperature never reached 98.6; it was usually 2 or 3 degrees lower. If, however, your temperature drops below about 95, you need immediate care; or a fever above 104.
Of course, this depends also upon what sex a person is, age, activity level and all that. My hunch is that the 98.3 - 98.1 is a reflection of your earlier low grade fever. Just track it for a few days.

No, it's not bad at all. Although the norm for average body temperature is 98.6, most people's average body temperature slightly varies from that...not to mention you are just recovering from a fever. You're fine ;-)

You don't have a fever... Just because you don't have a 98.6 doesn't mean something's wrong, that is just an average temperature. You're fine. A 99 or 97 is just as normal as a 98.6 -- everyone has their own normal body temperature.

Thats not bad, its actually normal. The average body temperature is 98.6, but if its a couple decimal points down, you'll still be fine.

98.1 is only .5 below your average body temp. You are fine. Just don't let it drop lower than that.

I wouldn't concern myself with it. It is about normal for body temperature.
