What does a Body temperature of 98.1 mean?

Question

what does a body temperature of 98.1 with cold symptoms for the last five days mean ands still going.

Answer 1

Your temp likely has nothing to do with your symptoms.  Some of us just run a bit cooler.  This is still withing the "normal" range.

Answer 2

The normal range for body temperature is 97 to 100 degrees fahrenheit so I would say it does not mean anything significant.  

Answer 3

That's a healthy and average body temperature. The fact that you are experiencin cold systems can be related to non-fever causing bacteria and germs or perhaps even allergies.
