A member asked:
I tested negative for covid. i have flu like symptoms but my temperature has been very low. around 95.5. is that something that is seen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
95.5 F is not considered VERY LOW. Fever is common in viral infection but not always. I also wonder how you check your temperature, tympanic or rectal temperature is mostly close to body core temperature. During the cold season, measure temperature on the skin by smart watch or forehead scan will give you a low result.
