ABOUT BODY TEMPERATURE
A person’s normal body temperature can range from 95.9°F to 100.0°F throughout the day. We recommend taking your temperature at different times during the day when you are NOT sick. This will give you a preliminary reference to know what your normal temperature is and how it fluctuates during a normal day. Then, when you feel sick or uncomfortable, knowing this information will provide an index for a reliable diagnosis of a fever.
