How soon after you eat do you check it? If you eat something hot, it will give a false high reading because your mouth is going to be warm for at least 10 minutes after eating or drinking something hot. It will also give a false low reading if you eat or drink something cold. Wait at least 10 minutes before checking.

It's also normal for your temperature to go up a little bit in the evening.

GG, your temp will fluctuate throughout the day depending on lots of factors, and none of them because you're sick.

I'd say check your temp once a day right after you get up, or maybe before you even get out of bed (like women who want to know when they're ovulating do) to get a baseline normal for you.

Your metabolic rate can also raise or lower your temperature, so if your anxious or a little jittery, your temp will also go up.

I also just Googled and the adult average oral temp can be anywhere from 97-100.
