Sentence doctors hate to hear - temperature

“I was running a fever of 99° last night.” Or its close cousin: “I know my daughter was running a fever because she felt warm.”
=======
Please get a thermometer (there are many easy-to-read and inexpensive thermometers out there now), and let me know if the temperature is over 101°, or 99°-100° daily for several days. I don’t care how low you think your body temperature is normally, nothing else is a fever.
