Also my head has had a headache that it just feels like a nagging cloud all in thetop of my head especially when I cough but I don’t have a cold and I can’t eat muc. Going on for about 5 days. And blood pressure is normal had it checked to day.

Hi,



Until we measure the temperature it is difficult to say fluctuating temperature. Normal body temperature on average is approximately 98.6°F. It's quite common, however, for body temperature to fluctuate 1°F one way or the other. This fluctuation can occur for a number of reasons. For example, if you're quiet and relaxed, your body temperature may drop a bit. But if you're active and racing around during the day, it may elevate to the higher end within the normal range.



Conditions that affect body temperature:



1.Drugs:antibiotics, narcotics, and antihistamines (to name a few)

2.Medical conditions - heart condition, heart attack, cancer, leukemia, and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

3.Exposure to cold (low body temperature).

4.Shock (low body temperature).

5.Alcohol (low body temperature).

6.Drug use (low body temperature).

7.Metabolic disorders - diabetes and hyperthyroidism.



Until examination is done it is difficult to say what is the cause for fluctuating body temperature. Andropause or menopause may also cause this problem.



Hope I have answered your query.
