What about 97.6 for normal axillary temp?

A normal axillary temperature typically ranges from 96.6°F to 98.0°F (approximately 35.9°C to 37.8°C). A reading of 97.6°F falls within this normal range, indicating that the body temperature is stable and not indicative of fever or hypothermia. However, individual variations can occur, and factors such as time of day, activity level, and measurement technique can influence temperature readings.
