Q: So I've been feeling miserable lately, with symptoms that could either be a cold or allergies, so I took my temp to see if I had a fever, and it said my temp was 97.5F, its suposed to be 98.7F isnt it? Does this mean anything?
A: Whereas you say your normal body temp is 98.7, yes you might have a slight cold or allergies. What is normal for one could be abnormal for someone else. But keep in mind that our body temperature fluctuates throughout the day.
