I had fever and cough 25 days back. I took antibiotics and got completely cured before 15 days. My normal body temperature was 96.6 at 5 am and 97.6 at 9 pm before the illness. But after the above illness my temperature remains at 97.2 at 5 am and 98.4 at 9 pm even fifteen days after complete cure. Won't my temperature come back to the 96.6 to 97.6 range? Why is it not coming back even after complete cure?

In general, a baby has a fever when their body temperature exceeds 100.4�F, or 38�C. A child has a fever when their temperature exceeds 99.5�F, or 37.5�C. An adult has a fever when their temperature exceeds 99 to 99.5�F, or 37.2 to 37.5�C. You need not keep measuring your temperature as an obsession if you are symptom free You have no fever at present
