Is 96.7 a fever?

My husband has been complaining of feeling cold and then warm. We took his temperature, and it showed 96.7. Is 96.7 a fever, or is it still a normal reading?

No, 96.7 is not a fever. It is actually a very normal temperature, so you can easily continue with your daily walks or light workouts without any worries.

At Fortis, doctors consider anything between 97°F and 99°F as normal. Since 96.7 is slightly on the lower side, please ask your doctor clearly if you have other symptoms.

96.7 is totally fine, bro. I get this reading all the time when I check in the morning. Definitely not a fever, so chill out.

My son often shows 96.7 on the digital thermometer when he wakes up. It is not a fever at all, just a normal cool body temperature. Just make sure they are dressed warmly.

Actually, 96.7 is totally normal, yaar. Fever is usually above 99. So don't worry at all, you are absolutely fine!
