Over the course of the day, I checked my temperature with my thermometer. Its and ear thermometer.
I usually get readings of approx 36.6 to 36.9 in the mornings. My temperature generally rises during the day to 37.2/37.3/37.4.
I forgot to take my temperature this morning. Or I was too busy to take my temperature. I checked my temperature early in the afternoon and it was slightly elevated at 37.6. I continued to check my temperature over the afternoon and I'm getting readings from 37.1 to 37.6.
I'm nervous about this elevated temperature. I don't feel sick but I do have a hungover feeling as if I was drinking all night last night and didn't sleep. I wasn't doing any of that. I got an early night.
I'm now nervous I might be coming down with something. I'm also nervous because I have plans made for the weekend.
Theres also a few more other things:
I have a small white lump on my gum. It's like a pimple. I meant to get to the dentist this week but I never had time. So there's possibly an infection but I don't know and maybe that could be a reason for the elevated temperature.
I'm also slap bang in the middle of my cycle and ovulation is probably occurring around about now but I don't track ovulation. So that could be another reason for the elevated temperature.
I've been having problems with my ears for years. The weather is fairly dull lately. Wet and cold and breezy. I should be wearing a cap but I'm not and lately I'm feeling little pains in my ears but no major earache. It's definitely time for a cap for me. So that could be another reason for the elevated temperature.
I'm afraid it could be viral related too.
I'm in Ireland and the virus is suppressed in the community. I'm trying to keep safe from the virus and doing my best. I haven't been to the city since January and I don't plan on going into the city. I am avoiding public transport and crowds. I'm not in a hot-spot either.
