My temp is 35.5

About 2 degrees lower than normal.

Sunday night I was dripping with sweat all night. Yesterday I was dizzy, had a heavy head. Better today but slight sore throat. Took temperature yesterday and today. Reading 35.5. Seems a bit low?!

I am aching and fatigued but I have fibromyalgia so this is normal.

Any chance your thermometer is on the blink? Low body temp can be a sign of sepsis so if you've been feeling unwell it would be wise to get a medical opinion.

It's now reading 35.2.

Have used on DC and their readings are normal...

If your temperature dips, doesn't it mean you could be fighting an infection? I'm no expert.

What type of themometer is it?

It might be wise to ring 111

Under the tongue digital.

That's a pretty normal temp isn't it? 37.5 would be a high temp.

Mines usually about 35.8 to 36.5 never been higher, unless I’m ill.
Yours sounds fine to me

Same happened with my adult DS. He came down with a sore throat/cold and his temp was 35.5. I thought that was odd, he took it twice like you under the mouth. That was 3 days ago though and he is now absolutely fine and fully recovered.
