Process of Checking Fever:
Normal body temperature
Normal body temperature is about 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or 37 degrees Celsius (°C).
Your temperature often varies from 1 to 2 °F or ½ to 1 °C. Your temperature is usually lower
in the morning and increases during the day. It reaches its high in the late afternoon or
evening.

be a sign of infection and should be treated right away.
