Approximately 5 percent of the population has temperature slightly higher or lower than 98 which is normal. It might be low because of the person having just eaten or drank something cold.

How far below the normal body temperature is safe?

Although 98.6 has long been set as the "normal" body temperature, body temp can fluctuate yet still be within normal range for that person. For example, one person may consistently run 97.6 and be okay. Another person may feel very feverish with a temp of 99.0, just 0.10 higher than "normal". However, body temp below 96 requires medical intervention.

Is a body temp 96.6 okay after a fever?

No. A fever is when the core body temperaturerises above 37.5°C, and in Fahrenheit that is anything over 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, which is considered normal. However, body temperature naturally varies from person to person. It can also vary according to the time of day and activity of a person. Most doctors don't get concerned about it until it reaches about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.


What could cause a low body temperature if thyroid tests came out okay and you are very active?

Body temperature is controlled by the Pituitary gland. It's a small, almond sized structure at the base of the brain that controls body temperature, blood pressure and controls the function of many other glands such as thyroid. It could just be that your Pituitary has a lower set point and that's just your normal temperature. It might be something to investigate next time you go to your doctor. Also, get a blood glucose meter and check your blood sugar level before and after eating a high carb snack. If it drops dramatically afterwards, you may very well be hypoglycemic... Low body temp and normal thyroid test may also indicate Wilson's Temperature Syndrome, where the body is making enough Thyroid hormone, but the cells are not converting it properly.
