Is this temperature normal in an adult?

DD2 has been ill with flu for the past week and it now looks like I've got it. I feel really rough, I'm shaking and sweating.

I've just taken my temperature and it's 34.

I don't know whether this is ok or not, any ideas?

oh, didn't know that.

Apart from the cold symptoms my ears are hurting which sometimes happens. Hope the ear infection doesn't flare up again.

If you have taken temp with an ear thermometer and ear infection can affect results.

Acoording to my braun your temp lowers a little as you age. I think 34 is excessively low though. Have you repeated the measurement?
