10 bars? you mean degrees?
If you did mean degrees, than you're wrong, because a temperature of 88 degrees would have you comatose, and most likely dead.
Also, temperature usually raises during infection (usually, but not always, as is the case in many viral infections).
I think you just don't know how to read a thermometer, or i'm misunderstanding you.

Hypothermia is a sudden drop in body temperature that can kill you. If you dress properly and exercise vigorously enough, it should never happen to you. Your body sends you signals as your temperature starts to drop. With a one degree drop in temperature, your speech becomes slurred. This, in itself, is not dangerous, and occurs when people stay out in temperatures below 35 degrees, but it serves as a warning that you are losing more heat than your body is producing. To protect yourself, you can produce more heat by exercising harder or you can conserve heat by adding more layers of clothes.

Try another thermometer?
If you've got time and money to go to the doctor and get a check up I'd say go, make it a yearly thing.

You need time for a rest. cover up urself in the bed until u begin to sweat or begin to feel uncomfortable.

go to the Dr..
you caught a cold and if you have an infection or something else is wrong he/she needs to know that right now.

I think that you should invest in another thermometer as yours is probably malfunctioning.
