I've had a cough but Ik its my allergies and smoking habits. ( its not dry and it goes away with my allergy meds) anyways my son was playing Dr and checked my temp and it was 99.1 so u waited a few and checked it again like 5 min later and it was 99.7 so I freaked out, made my mom take my kids etc. Checked it again about 30 min later and it said 109.3. Decided I should be dead lol. Moral of the story. Change your thermometer batteries or you'll have a panic attack lol.
