what temperature should you
The normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (or 37.0 degrees Celsius). 1  But in reality, body temperature is considered in the normal range if it is anywhere between 97.0 and 100.3 degrees Fahrenheit. If your body temperature is more than 100.3 degrees, you may have a fever. A fever simply means you have an elevated body temperature. It is not an illness.
