Since Thursday I have a sore throat. No other symptoms, it’s only slight and just feels like I’ve been shouting too much. I have coughed a few times today. Maybe 3/4 coughs all day. The weird thing is my temp. It’s still within a normal range but bounces anywhere between 38.8-37.5. I’ve never took my temperature so often so don’t know if that’s normal.

What do you think? I have vulnerable elderly family members who live with me so wondering if I need to be self isolating.

That should say my temp is between 36.8-37.5.

tThe main symptoms are cough and fever. So no.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 I suppose so. However, just because they are the main symptoms doesn’t mean they are the only ones. And, isn’t it odd to have a sore throat for days that doesn’t develop any further, and doesn’t feel like a typical “ill” sore throat.

Anyone know if it’s normal for temperatures to fluctuate from 36.5-37.5 or is that a sign is happening?
