What makes it when u check a 5 year olds fever it is 96.2 what does that mean?

Probably normal: Would have to know why you were checking their temperature to be certain, and would like to know what other symptoms they may have, but temperatures like that, particularly early in the morning are entirely normal. Body temps fluctuate during the day from very low in the am to as high as 99.9 in the late afternoon to early evening. If your baby is ill, see a pediatrician or a pcp.
