2021-06-17 22:09:34
Hi 3 weeks post covid i had recently developed an elevated temperatures upto 99.5. the temperature usually come at 7pm to 12 am and become normal early morning and during day. I feel active throughout the day but when my temperature goes to 99 and above I start feel week. The temperature comes with slight infection in throat but whenever the infection subside, temperature becomes normal and I feel energetic again. I am also doing regular body exercises but it's been 16 days now and my body temperature varies from 97.6 to 99.4 in a day. My CRP reports and CBC reports are normal and under range except absolute lymphocyte count that is 3600. I am failing to understand this body temperature fluctuation per day. The fever do not cross 99.5 mark. Please suggest.

Fever is only at and above 100.4 Everything below that is normal. You have documented the normal physiology of the human body. It is normal for Body temperature to be higher during the evening and night and comparatively lower during the day time. This occurs normally. (Post covid you are hyper alert regarding the way your body functions. This is normal for people,when they recover from a fatal illness. You are being unnecessarily anxious and linking your throat to it. )
Next Steps
improve diet and take adequate rest. don't check temperature. check saturation once a day, if above95 everything is normal.
