Question
What is the normal body temperature range in winter? I have tonsillitis and a ‘cold’ with a bit of coughing and low fever for two days now. My current body temperature is still 36.9°C. Previous treatment and effectiveness: I have taken cold medicine, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine. What kind of help do I need? Is this normal?
Answer
From the information you provided, it is unclear whether you measured your temperature under the armpit. If it was under the armpit, then it falls within the normal body temperature range. However, this still needs to be judged in combination with your usual body temperature. Typically, the fluctuation of body temperature within a day should not exceed 1 degree. If your usual baseline body temperature is lower, then 36.9°C may already be considered a low fever. It is recommended that you go to a local hospital for a routine blood test to determine the cause of infection, thereby undergoing further treatment. At the same time, please pay attention to staying hydrated, and wish you good health and happiness.
