My ear thermometer must be 11 years old now. It's a brain ear thermometer.
I'm getting some funny readings over the past week. Like:
37.8 in one ear,
37. 4 in another ear,
Go back and take the temperature in the other ear and it's 37.6,
Go back to the other ear and it's 37.3
The readings are jumpy.
I got a covid test last week and it was not detected result. I am following the rules and guidelines and minimising contacts and outings and there's no body in my circle sick or a positive with covid.
I find I have some low readings in the morning about 36.7, then it rises to 37 for late morning and afternoon. Then in the evening it's sits high-ish enough about 37.6 or sometimes 37.7.
I don't feel sick. I don't have a cold. No body in my family has colds. I can't find any other pain in the body that could indicate a bacterial infection and a cause for a raised temperature.
I really don't think it's covid.
I did ovulated last weekend and I had tummy cramps. I don't know if that has anything to do with the raised temperature. I'm going going through a lot of stress in work too. Also going through other stress too. I don't know if any of that would contribute to a raised temperature.
The readings are so jumpy over the past week.
