If you have a thermometer, can you take your temp?

I know temperatures vary and was wondering what everybody's is to get an idea.

Mine is 37.3 today.

I take my temperature twice a day, and keep a chart, initially to establish a baseline but I have continued to do it most days. Mine varies throughout the day.

We are taking ours daily (ear). I'm usually 36.something. Last Monday I started feeling dreadful, aching, very very cold but no temp. Same Tuesday. By Wednesday temp was 38.9 so acc to NHS111 online thingy I 'probably' had 'it'. Felt a lot better over the weekend and temp now back to normal, am just tired. Self-isolating obviously now. DS and DH so far both had cough at the same time I'm like this, but no temp, so all confined to barracks.

See I’ve had a sore throat, slight headache, tight chest and mild cough for several days now but at no point have I had a temperature. It’s mostly around the 36.9 mark. So what’s that about? Just a cold? The only thing that’s different to normal cold is the tight chest and I had that before I started coughing. Do you get a temp with a cold?

Dh is also obsessively taking his temp. Which has been normal. But he’s ‘fighting off something’ because he’s got a mouthful of ulcers. Fighting off severe hypochondria more like. Grin

We use one of the cheap mouth ones. It usually reads about 36.3 for normal which surprised me as I thought we were meant to be 37.5. But I see normal range can be 36.5-37.5.

@ButterflyBitch ulcers are a symptom of Coronavirus.

Shock with no other symptoms?
