The number 98.6 was the average temperature in 100 men about 400 years ago. I used to work in a clinic, and out off 100 men, women, and children's temperatures I took, about 95 of them were in the 97 degree range. The others were in the low 98s or upper 96s. Don't worry! And if you have diarrhea, be sure to drink plenty of fluids so you don't get dehydrated, but if you take your temperature orally, wait at least 15 minutes after eating or drinking to take it.
