A member asked:

Several ago i started taking my body temperature each day. i've noticed it is always low, varying between 96.2 and 97.8. most of the time it is below 97. is this a cause for concern? i've used several thermometers to confirm the reading.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal : If you are generally healthy & feeling well, those temperature readings are likely normal for you. Many people run normal temps a bit lower than the average of 98.6 (some run a bit higher). If you develop cough/shortness of breath, fatigue, etc, then Dr evaluation is best, but otherwise no need to worry.
