Answers: Yesterday i had a fever of 101.2 got it down to 100.4 and then when i woke up i didn't feel sick anymore... and now i have a temp of 98.3- 98.1

temperatures vary from person to person and at different times of the day.

My normal temperature is between 98.1 and 98.4.

No, thats about the normal temperature.

That is normal.

that is normal.

that is a normal tempature

Nope your good avg temp is 98.6

no it's not bad. it's normal body temperature. you're fine now.

nope normal is 98.6 so your better

normal temperature on a human is 98.6 degrees so you are fine..

you are back to normal with your temp,,

That's normal temperature! Glad you're feeling better!

I wouldn't concern myself with it. It is about normal for body temperature.

what they said ^^^

No. It is not bad. Normal body temperature varies from person to person. my normal body temperature is 98.8. it seems high but i feel good as new when i'm at 98.8. So don't worry. your okay.

No, it's not bad at all. Although the norm for average body temperature is 98.6, most people's average body temperature slightly varies from that...not to mention you are just recovering from a fever. You're fine ;-)

its pretty normal but on the cold side. is it cold in ur house or where ever ur at? u r fine. mine was like that before and it was because it was kind of cold in the house.

no perfectly fine

No. 98.7 or higher is a fever but anywhere lower in the 98's is normal.

Thats not bad, its actually normal. The average body temperature is 98.6, but if its a couple decimal points down, you'll still be fine.

You don't have a fever... Just because you don't have a 98.6 doesn't mean something's wrong, that is just an average temperature. You're fine. A 99 or 97 is just as normal as a 98.6 -- everyone has their own normal body temperature.

Holy Sh**.... Jump in the oven... If it gets down to 98.0, you are dead.

Back in the 1800s, ONE doctor took the temperatures of 100 patients, averaged that, and came up with 98.6. Unfortunately, many health care professionals labor under the false impression than ANYTHING above or below 98.6 is not "normal"
When I was in the Army, my temperature never reached 98.6; it was usually 2 or 3 degrees lower. If, however, your temperature drops below about 95, you need immediate care; or a fever above 104.
Of course, this depends also upon what sex a person is, age, activity level and all that. My hunch is that the 98.3 - 98.1 is a reflection of your earlier low grade fever. Just track it for a few days.

That's fine, thermoter was probably a lil wrong, if not that is normal, they just say 98.6 is PERFECTLY wrong

98.1 is only .5 below your average body temp. You are fine. Just don't let it drop lower than that.

only if you're about 90 years old................that temp. is really close to normal.............but if you are sick you can be contagious with ant temperature...........

thats totally fine...normal body temp is supposed to be 98.6, mines about a degree lower (97.6) and youre somewhere in between...youre healthy

fever is gone! 98.6 is normal anything close to that is OK,normal body temp is not a steady 98.6 it will very a degree or two depending on health and activity. your fine go out an have fun!

Nope......

its normal
anything between 98.0 and 98.6 is fine
