A member asked:

Is 96 temp normal? 6'5, 290 lb male. have sore throat and sinus congestion.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: There are a lot of ways to get the wrong temperature and thermometers are not particularly accurate. You likely do not have a fever and are very unlikely to have a clinically significant depression of your temperature.
