When thermometers for individual use were developed, a number of readings were taken of healthy people. Those readings taken from a large group of people determined that average temperature of healthy people was 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Some healthy people registered below that number and some above that number. When all the temperatures of average people were added and then the total was divided by the number of people the answer was 98.6. Many were below that and many were above that but all were healthy.
Since 98.6 is only an average and not a fact, two tenths of a degree above average should definitely be fine for anyone as far as temperature is concerned.
