You should cover the baby with a thin blanket and call the EMT. This sounds like a head or spinal injury.

You need to wrap the baby up in blankets and put socks on the baby. Very important to keep a baby's head covered with a boggin or something cause that is where thay lose the most heat. Call you baby's doctor also because a temp below 93 can be fatal.

No matter what it is if it is about 2 degrees different than normal you should call the doctors office. Babies temperatures can be high with out it being serious. Temps of 101 or 102 can be normal.

it depends on how low the temp is..if it's below 96.0 i would take him/her to the nearest emergency room. hypothermia (low body temp) is extrememly dangerous-especially in infants.
for now-dress the baby warmly-long sleeves and pants. wrap them in a warm blanket and if he/she will take it-heat up some formula or breatmilk (if breastfeeding). check the baby's temp about 15 minutes after dressing and feeding them-if it's still low, get to the e.r
good luck and i hope your baby is ok

How low?
Place the baby against your body. Skin-to-skin. This will improve the baby's temperature. Keep the baby call and stress free.
For sure call the baby's doctor.

For your infant and any concerns, take him/her to a pediatrician. They know how to deal with all the problems babies have and what to do with them. I assume your baby had a fever and it dropped. That is god...but go to a Pedi Doc.

1)Remove wet clothing
2) Move to a warm room (turn on the a/c to warm)
3) place him in a blanket (preferly warm)
4) If it´s below 36°C GO TO YOUR PED!!! URGENTLY

keep the baby as warm as possible-heating pads, blankets, give warm liquids- seek professional medical attention as quickly as possible!
