2019-10-20 09:14:04
I have checked my armpit temp when I returned home from word is 98.8 after few minutes I angin checked it is 98.4 again after few minutes it is 98. I have no body discomfort only eyes were burning. So is it due to weather temperature my body's temperature change or infection. I have this for 5 days burning eyes. When I am sitting is cold room after returning from work my temp reduces from 98.8 to below 98 is it normal or any infection?
