Since I was born my average body temperature has been 96.2 (2 degrees lower than average).
However, a couple of days ago I started having trouble breathing. I took my temp and it was around 96.8 (which is pretty normal for me). After more problems my husband dragged me to the hospital where my temp was 96.7.
They found absolutely nothing wrong with me and sent me home and the next day my temp was down to 94.3 (according to research, that's moderate hypothermia). I called my doctor who had no ideas other than to do everything to keep my temp over 95.
It's been a day and I'm struggling to do such. Even after a hot bath, loads of hot tea and blankets and sweaters I'm just staying at 97 and I feel like I'm overheating. However, if I stop TRYING to maintain a high temperature I drop to the low 90s again.
I still have a little labored breathing from time to time, but otherwise feel perfectly healthy.
My doctor has no ideas except waiting. Should I be worried? Should I get a second opinion

The majority of the asthma medicines cause weight gain and I am over weight as it is, and with the some of the side affects from the asthma medicines causing weight gain I'm wondering if there are other natural ways to treat asthma? Or something that would help stop the asthma medicines side affect of weight gain.

My sister had bronchitis/bordering on pneumonia for close to three weeks during which she coughed a lot. She had back pain when she was sick, but is still experiencing lower back pain even though she's better. Do you think that the back pain is a side effect from the illness or from coughing?

We are 17 and my best friend has quite bad asthma. She very often forgets her pump and even though we remind her and ask her to leave pumps at our houses she forgets. She usually starts having an attack in the middle of then night. Is there anything I can do to help her. I have heard coffee works? Anything else you can recomend I could give her when it happens?

When I inhale or take deep breaths it hurts my lungs, and not like the muscle around it, it feels like the actual lung itself.
I am also kinda short of breath. I have a slight cough. I first got this pain yesterday and now my neck, my shoulders and my back hurts. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't do any drugs, and I don't do anything that could risk my health.The only way I can describe the pain, is that it feels that when I take a deep breath some one is like squeezeing my lungs. I am 15 and I am not to concerned about it because I have had it before and I went to the doctor and he said it was a sinus infection, and that was the same pain in my lungs that I am having now. Do you think it is a sinus infection, a lung infection, pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, or something else. And if you could I would like to know some ways to help it. And please don't say visit the doctor, because if it doesn't go away, I am going to go to the doctor. Thank you all for your answers and time

What does your doctor do with his/her stethoscope before listening to your chest? i.e. do he/she warm up it up, explain to you what they are doing?
