i have been worrying about this for few days now
is the body temperature 37.1-37.4C (98.8-99.3F) at night considered fever? i have been checking my temperature orally for few days now and have realized that my temperature starts going over 37(98.6F) from 6pm and its at it highest around the late evening (10pm-12am). My temperature is perfectly normal in the morning and early afternoon. I remember few weeks ago i did the same thing and my temperature wouldn't go over 98.6F at night but now it does. What could be wrong? im kind of worried.
Im 19 by the way and dont exercise a lot..my room is also cool and im not wearing lots of layers..
i posted this on this medical forum and this doctor/nurse answered my post saying its a low grade fever. My mom thinks this is normal and my family doctor thinks this is normal too. But im not sure if this has been happening recently or i was like that all the time.
here is what the person on medical forum said
The temperature is lowest early in the morning and rises by night. A temperature of about 990F is generally taken as a low grade fever. This is also possible due to dehydration and anemia. Start taking more of fluids post noon and take a multivitamin pill daily. In all probability this will bring down the temperature to below 990F.
