What Cause Feverish Feeling With Temperature 97.6?

Is 98.6 the normal temperature in everybody? I begin to feel sick once my temperature rises above 97.7 and my normal, in my experience, has always been between 96.6 and 97.6. These days my temperature is always above 97.6 and I have been feeling feverish. Could I have an illness?

Hello, Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Normal body temperature is between 98-99 dF. So 98.6 is a normal temperature.
Body temperature is related to BMR which is in turn regulated by several hormones.
Your history appears non-specific and not related to any major illness. Still you should undergo thyroid profile and get your T3, T4 & TSH level done as it may be related to hyperthyroidism.
It may also be due to hormonal imbalance if you are a female.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Thanks for using HCM. Take care.
