Dead, I think. Seriously, did you take it properly? Maybe a low temperature is normal for you.

Normal body temp for an adult is 98.6 degrees,to fluctuate 1 degree higher or lower is still normal. Several things can alter a temp,like having drunk hot or cold liquids 20 minutes before,coming inside from a temperature extreme,recent exercise or sports etc.Your not considered having a "fever" until it ranges about 101.0 degrees.Usually your body can "feel" the difference.

No, u are normal.
If your temp goes above 100, then u are running a fever, if it goes to 103 to 105 , u may need help like a motrin tablet and moist vinegar cloths on the head, or aloe plant on the head, or emergency docs

Normal temperature is what ever is normal for you. Some people have a normal temp at 97.6 while others might always read 99.2. If your temp is a bit low it is nothing to be worried about. You may not have kept your mouth closed tightly on the thermometer or the thermometer might not be accurate.
