I'm dealing with an upper respiratory tract infection and feeling really tired. Is a 98.8 temperature something to worry about when it comes to fever, or is it just part of the infection?

I've been noticing something odd with my body temperatureit rises to about 98.3 or 98.4 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon and evening, but it seems to dip below 98 degrees in the mornings and at night. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about these fluctuations?

A fluctuating body temperature between 98F and 98.4F throughout the day is generally considered normal, as the body's temperature naturally varies due to factors like circadian rhythms, physical activity, and environmental conditions, but if you're concerned or experience other symptoms like fever, chills, or fatigue, consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying health issues.
