Temperature..help

[Ceri78]

Hi all!! Is an ear temperature of 37.6 normal or indicating something sinister? Orally its 37.2!! I haven't done anything physical to raise my temp either nor was I stressing when I checked.... Thankyou!!

It's absolutely fine.

Measuring in the ear is usually about half a degree higher than oral measurement.

In any case - both of those temperatures are in the normal range. Nothing to be concerned about.

Your temperature will fluctuate during the day as well (by over 1 degree C), please don't obsess over taking it.
