My temperature has sometimes gone up as high as 100F over the last 10 years since I have taken it regularly but most of the time it's 97 or 98 (point) somthing. I have been noticing that it seems to go higher after I eat a full meal. For example, I took it once or twice today and it was normal but in the evening I ate a big dinner (with second helpings) and then took it and it was 99.4.

Well, I freaked and thought this was a sign of something aweful and so I started looking on Google to see what the normal adult human temp was supposed to be and everyone seems to have an opinion on this so it just confused me. Is it normal for your temp to go up after a meal and just what is the normal oral temp for an adult?. I have been using a digital thermometer and I still don't trust it.

Also, the pollen has been very high in my area for ages and I suffer from chronic sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. My nose has been all crusty and plugged up pretty good too. My eyes go from bone-dry to watery and I even get this white film of dried tears on the sides of my eyes some mornings. Normal?.

Could any of this make you have a temp or is'nt this a temp at all?. Would any of you be willing to take your temps real quick and let me know what it is?. I know it sounds silly but it might ease my mind and I woiuld really appreciate it.

Thank you!
