With most illnesses: ...Whether you have a fever, or what your temperature is exactly, is one of the least important pieces of information. How you are feeling, how well you are breathing, is actually far more important.

Probably not: Assuming you are feeling better, as you say, the low temperature is likely due to a faulty thermometer, or error of technique, rather than an actual medical issue. Additionally, temperatures taken via the temporal or axillary route are notoriously inaccurate, so if the temperature was taken by that route, it should not be trusted. Hope this helps!
