OK, that is not a 'fever.' That is a Below normal temp. Often you will have a below normal temp a day or two before you get sick. And THEN you may have a fever. Everyone's body temp is different. It's when it hits 99.5 degrees that it starts to become a fever. Don't worry until then!

Possibly you measured by axilla and she was sweating. Check again per mouth, there should be an explanation for a hypothermia of 96 deg F.
Good luck!

98.6 is considered normal. If the thermometer is accurate you may want to talk to a Dr soon. A lower than normal temp can indicate possible blood loss-and if you don't see any then it could even be a symptom of internal bleeding.

Her tempurature is too low.
It should be 98 to 99 degrees.
You might need to put the thermometer somewhere else to get a more accurate reading.

well, since 98.4 is normal, your friend doesn't have a fever. I'd say she/he needs to dress warmer. Maybe a hot bath to bring up the body temp to normal.

Fever always indicates infections.

As a healthcare provider I can tell you that there is nothing to worry about.
