Is 96.8 a fever?

With my PCOS, my body temperature always behaves weirdly, and I often see 96.8 on the screen. It is definitely not a fever, but since hormone cycles can cause weird chills, keep an eye on how you feel. If you feel dizzy or extremely fatigued, check with a doctor.

No way, 96.8 is absolutely not a fever. Normal body temperature sits anywhere between 97 and 99 degrees, so you are actually on the cooler side if anything. Stop checking the thermometer every hour and just get some rest.

I just went through a viral phase last week and my temp dipped to 96.8 post-recovery. My doc told me it is normal for the body temperature to fluctuate a bit when you are tired. Just drink warm water and give your body some time to bounce back.

Yaar, I panicked so badly last month when my reading showed 96.8, I thought my body was shutting down. But my doctor laughed and said it is completely normal and sometimes thermometers just show slight variations. Rest easy, you don't have a fever at all.

It is not a fever, beta. If you are feeling a bit cold or weak, just have some warm ginger tea or haldi doodh and wrap yourself in a blanket. But of course, if you start feeling severe shivering, body pain, or breathing issues, go see a doctor immediately.

Do not worry at all, 96.8 is quite safe. I always tell my kids to drink warm water and eat a light hot meal like khichdi when they feel low energy. Keep yourself cozy and rest well, your body is just relaxing.
