I would run a 99 alot. That is normal though I asked my doctor because I was also concerned about that.

I've been a nurse for 18 years and have taken thousands and thousands of temperatures...\n\nYour temp 40.8C is 105.4F.  The highest one I ever took was 105.2. The body can start having seizures around 105.  I hope you're feeling better now.  Keep resting and drinking a lot of fluids.

Not everybody runs at 98.6. It's normal to vary from that degree. You can be higher or lower. 98.6 is just an average. I run about 97.2. So at 98.6, I would actually be running a fever for me.

once an infection gets into the blood and you become septic you have a small window of time to get on antibiotics. If the infection passes a certain point they cant stop it even with drugs. It is very common although most people seek treatment before its to late. I went throught the same thing . I thought i had the flu. i was vomiting and could not get warm i was shaking with the chills. i just thought i was a real bad case of the flu. Except i had a small red,warm spot on my arm. The fact that it was warm concerned me.( t=i thought it was a bug bite) I called the dr. and he made me come in. i draged my behind there and he drew blood and sent me to the hospital. for 14 days of antibotic. I was already septic it was from getting pincked by a rose torn while working in the garden. (i dont any more) He said i had 2 days and if i wouldnt have gone in when i did i most likeily would have died. I was so sick believe me at the time i thought death looked real good. They kept me in the hospital 15 days. I had 14 days of the intreviounes antibiotics and constant blood tests. If they dont treat it for 14 days the infection can hide some where in the body. usually the brain and then manifest its self again later. People dont want to bother with the dr. because they think they can fight off something andsave the expence. Not me Not any more. I go and get check out right away or ant least call and discuss it with him. I will pray for your friend and keep him in my prayers as i also have a friend in the UK who is suffering from the same thing and hopefully will pull through. Infections are nothing to fool around with. Jim Hensen for the Muppets creator died of an infection too. In in daught seek medical help always.

Yes, that is fine and within the normal range.  Although the quoted average is 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C), it can vary by several degrees higher or lower.  Your temperature will vary depending on different factors, such as your metabolism and how fast or slow it is, time of day, if you've exercised recently, etc.\n\nThis also will depend on which method you have been using to take your temperature.  Typically the most reliable temperature reading is either tympanic (your ear) or rectal.  Rectal temp is more reliable because it is more invasive, and it is going to give you a higher reading of your temperature than an oral reading as it is closer to your body's core.  Least accurate, and the one that will give you the lowest temperature reading, is axillary temp (underneath your armpit) as it is the least invasive.  So another thing to consider is whether you have been using the same thermometer and the same method--tympanic, rectal, oral, or axillary--to obtain your temperature, and whether or not it has been the same time of day every day, etc.\n\nSo the bottom line is, generally you should not worry if you think your temperature is low, as what is regular for one person can be higher or lower than the average.  If you still are concerned, though, you may want to consult with your doctor.

Calm down.\n\nThat's nothing to freak over.  I wouldn't even call that a "fever."  \n\nNormal is 98.6 and a lot of people run either a degree higher or lower.  It's fine.\n\nIf he has a UTI, then he's lucky is not higher.

Since you have been out of the country you should call your primary physician and tell them your symptoms and get their adivice.  \nIt could be some kind of rash from fever.

I don't know but I'm the same way,,,weird, I'm always hot, even when it's cold out....and when summer time hit's I'm always in big trouble, cause i"m always hot as it is but then the heat combined I feel sick...

I can tell you that my son and I do not have fibromyalgia. We both do not like the heat as the temperature we give off is already high. I keep my house at 62 degrees (F) in winter and summer and still we both have night sweats. During the day, if you put your hand on the back of my neck, it is sooo hot it is amazing. My son is miserable day or night by how hot he feels. And yes, we also fog the windows in our car.\n\nI don't know if this goes along with fibromyalgia, but my point is, anyone can have this problem. It is not just for people with fibromyalgia.

It Would Depend, In Large Part, On Whether you had Mono (a Herpesvirus, EBV) Before (and May Have Seen it as Something Else or Never Realized you Were Sick).  I Think she was Contagious Well Before she had Signs, and Not Terribly Long After she had Signs.

I am a Registered Nurse and I have had a subnormal core body temperature all my life.  Some people just have lower core body temps than others.  It isn't a bad thing, but you may have a fever at 98.9 whereas the next guy will have one at 99.9 or 100.  It has also been noted than when a person is truly sticking to a diet, the core body temperature drops as well and they begin to experience being chilly when they didn't before.  This, too, has happened to me.  Hope that helps.

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

you really need to go to the ER asap. the high temperature can cause you serious problems if you dont get it down. since it went away and then came back it shows that it is still in your system,you need antibotics seriously. you dont wanna harm your body.

I am not a doctor and I don't have any experience in the whole medical area, but it could have been a LIGHT case of food poisoning. It could have also been something in the food that you had a mild allergy too. Glad you are feeling better :)

Yeah, I think that once your immune system has one thing to deal with, sometimes it can't deal as well with other things that are happening.  That is probably the reason for the cold sore, the zits, and the eczema.  I hope you feel better soon.
