A member asked:

My 15 month old has a low temp 95.6 axillary. he is on amoxicillin for a double ear infection. woke up screaming at 130am. are low temps concerning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Low temperatures can be concerning, if accurate. Axillary temperatures not always accurate. Rectal temperature should be taken to get true temperature.
