A member asked:
I took my temp after waking up today, and it was 96.5. is this worrisome?

Accurate thermometer: Take your temp more than once, during the day and possibly with another thermometer. Was this a digital thermometer or the old fashioned type? Any other symptoms? If in doubt, go to express care and see a Dr. who can monitor your temp, etc.
