A member asked:

What do you advise if i'm miserable and my temp has been running in the low 96's for several days?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Low 96's is still normal for some people. You are probably sick if you feel miserable and do the usual things you do when you get a minor illness, but the temperature is not a problem. However, if it ends up not to be a minor illness that you get over in a few days, it would be best to have thyroid tests done by your doctor - you can feel miserable and have a low temperature with hypothyroidism.
