Are these fluctuations in my body temp normal when you get sick?

I got sick on Wednesday, got a good fever on Thursday (102.9), and now its Sunday Night, and my temp dropped all the way to 96.2?

I called the doctor, they said it was normal, but the abnormally low body temp is just weird to me.

Now its 99.2, but for hours it was 98.6

    If you took your temperature several times a day, every day, you would find that it will fluctuate by time of day, and activity. Stay home another day or two, unless you feel really good. Keep those hands washed, and don't rub your eyes or your nose if you can help it.

    Yes.. I am right now and my cheeks feel so warm. It might just be related to the fact that I'm super excited for trying to conceive, however! Who knows ... Just try and see what happens (if you're trying to get pregnant, that is.)

    this can happen. Sounds like your body got over enthusiastic about cooling itself down.
