I just took mine, 98.4°. Absent diagnostic testing, a thermometer can give you an idea if you're getting sick or not.
I knew that was coming. But you might want to have an oral thermometer on hand. If you call your Dr., one of the first things they will ask is "are you running a fever?"
Checked mine yesterday with one of those forehead contact deals. I think I may already be dead. Stay tuned.
You know the difference between an oral thermometer and rectal thermometer, right?.....................
I've run anywhere from 97.7 to 98.8 the last couple of days. Yet, have been sick since Tuesday. However, at least I'm fairly sure it isn't flu or the new bug.
Save the popcorn. Batteries were low or something. Hasn't been used since before FIL passed back in '17.
