A member asked:

Is 96.1 temputure ok and if the skin feels cold ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal body: temperature is 98.6 degrees. The body can have lower temperatures during periods of infection, such as certain viral infections. Other causes could be low thyroid hormone, and if that is suspected, blood tests would help determine whether you might need treatment.
