Can a low body temperature indicate infection?!


Question: Can a low body temperature indicate infection?
I'm asking on behalf of my spouse. His has been between 95.8 to 96.8 within the past 24 hours, along with throat and tooth (*decay) pain.

Answers:

Yes it could be a symptom of an infection but is not a fever. Fever is a normal reaction to infection.
If his temperature falls below 35 degrees Celsius you must be concerned and take him to a doctor asap.
