measured from different parts, even at the same time,

normal. This symptom may be caused by infection,
overdressing or immunization. Some people may not
experience fever even when they are ill. These include, but
are not limited to, infants younger than 3 months old,
persons with compromised immune systems, persons taking
antibiotics, steroids or antipyretics (aspirin, ibuprofen,
