I’m not sure this has been mentioned so, if you’ve got a thermometer …
Get to know your normal temperature.
Take it when you get up, middle of the day and before bed. (clean with alcohol after each use) Nice chance to make a graph.
There’s daily fluctuations in temperatures and method of taking it influences the readings so stay consistent. (rectal most accurate method but might be the least popular site—especially if sharing equipment!)
My normal sublingual temperature is 36.6 C
If you know what’s normal for you then you’ll know if it’s increased.
