The average normal oral temperature for adults is around 36.8 degrees Celsius.
Take your temperature at the same time every day for a week. Use an oral thermometer. Do not test right after you've had anything to drink--hot or cold drinks can temporarily change the oral temp.
98.6 is the normal temp... 99.6 is a bit high.
A child's body temperature is the same as an adult's body temperature. A normal oral temperature is 98.6 degrees. Forehead or underarm temperature is normally one degree less because it is more exposed to the air which results in less than a core-body temperature, so a normal forehead or underarm temp can be around 97.6. Note: A high underarm temp should be re-checked orally to confirm a fever. For example, if a forehead or underarm temp is 100.8, the oral temp is likely 101.8. Rectal temp is sometimes preferred to give a more accurate reading.
Rectal temperature is much less influenced by other factors.

it is room temp. if its temp is to high it will melt.
An axillary temperature is typically 0.5°F (0.3°C) lower than an oral temperature. Therefore, an axillary temperature taken as 98.6°F would be roughly equivalent to an oral temperature of 99.1°F.

People often have a below normal temp. when they are in a cold climate-outdoors. Also first thing upon waking. If if you've had a drink of soemthing within about 15 min. of taking your oral temp. The flu normally presents with a fever, though in the case of the swine flu it may not. Try taking your temp at different times of the day. And if you have flu like symptoms, treat yourself as if you have the flu. Rest, Fluids and see your doc.
