Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am an 18-year-old female, approximately 5 feet, and weigh 115 pounds. I have not been feeling myself the past few days. So, this morning I checked my temperature and it was 97.5, and now it is 96.1 degree Fahrenheit. This worries me as my temperature normally stays around 98.9 degree Fahrenheit. I am feeling worse today but cannot pinpoint exactly what is wrong. I just generally feel bad. Is this something I should worry about?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
If the core body temperature drops below 95 degrees Fahrenheit it is a potentially serious condition and immediate treatment must be sought. If you already feel unwell it would be a good idea to go to the ER now given the temperature is 96 or dropping. Also, keep yourself warm. If you have been cold lately, this could be a cause. If this often happens you might want to get your thyroid and adrenal hormones checked out. I hope this helps. Thank you and take care. Regards.
