I'm a bit concerned about my temperature readings. They're usually between 98.6 and 99.2, but most often fall between 98.5 and 98.8. I'm not feeling feverish or anything, but should I be worried? Is this considered a fever?

A normal oral body temperature ranges from 97.7F to 99.5F, so your temperature readings (98.5-99.2F) are within the normal range, and it's unlikely to be a fever, especially if you're not experiencing any feverish symptoms

Question

I'm dealing with a 103-degree fever and intense pain in my hands and muscles for the past three days. I also have a cold and cough but no vomiting or digestive issues, and my blood reports came back normal. I'm taking Dolo 650 every 4 hours, as well as Monocef 200mg, Rantac 150mg, and Ascoril syrup.
