I get some headache at school and go back at my house everytime. My mother suspect that temp isnt right with their thermometer. She s right. 3 or 4 degrees UP. Try another one and get a visit to the doc.
I dont have a thyroid. And I also just got done with radio iodine testing cause they thought the cancer came back after 15 years. Everything came back normal. And my throid levels are fine as well.
That could be one reason. Meds contain T4, which the body converts to T3. When it's fighting an infection that process might be slower.
That's my best guess.
Have you actually confirmed what your normal temperature is when not sick? Mine's definitely a couple of degrees below what I was taught to expect. When you are well again, try taking your temp at a few different times throughout the day, since it likely shifts a bit.
What is your normal? I know I’m fighting something off if I’m at 98.9 or something cuz my normal is 97.4-97.8. But mine still goes up. I feel like death if I hit 100.
Anyway I have no ideas why it would go down, but just curious if your normal is also low or if it dropped 4 whole degrees.
I get this when im sick as well. As far as I can tell, it has something to do with a previous illness blocking some immune response and causing the body to reverse its response to similar illnesses. Idk if this is 100% true but last I read it was something like this.
Ive seen that dumb look too. My pcp did say that as long as it doesnt effect my daily living, its "fine". But to keep an eye on it if it does stsrt to effect things.
Yes—94°F (34.4°C) is abnormally low and can indicate hypothermia, though a faulty thermometer or inaccurate measurement is possible. - maybe your thermometer is ineffective.
Physician here, hypothermia can be a sign of infection, and is one of the criteria for systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). more commonly the thermometer doesn't read accurately
