medical question: below normal temp??

[Deleted member 4644]

So what does it mean if I have a cold, a temp of 96.5 and I have a terrible headache and feel like maybe I have a fever??

couple of tylenol might do the work.

or


sleep it off.

It means you're not taking your temp correctly. Shove it in deeper.

And yeah, pop a couple of tylenols.

When I'm healthy, I never even get a thermometer close to 98 degrees. Usually in the low 97's. So when I have a 99 degree temp and the docs say that's not much of a fever, I tell them they're full of it.
