Low temperature

Would you be concerned about a temperature of 35.8? I have had afollow up appointment in the hospital for an infection today and been prescribed another 10 days of antibiotics. I have taken naprocen and paracetamol but temperature is showing as 35.8. Yesterday I had a fever of 38.2. I feel tired and unwell but not as awful as with the original infection.

I had blood pressure and heartrate / sats measured in hospital which were normal but no temp as the thermometer wasn't working. Haven't had any blood tests but conscious looked OK to a medic at 3 PM.

What's your usual temperature, mines usually on the low side. When I had DD one of the midwives too my temperature, then went away to get another thermometer, then another midwife with her thermometer and then announced I had hypothermia,. I was fine and it was a warm day .

My daughter had a really low body temperature following an illness, was between 34.9-35.3. I called 111 and they sent an ambulance as it had flagged for sepsis. But after that point no one was concerned at all. They said they thought it's because I'd given her calpol and ibuprofen ( she had been screaming in pain) and it had dropped her temperature low.

Yes was a bit concerned about the sepsis thing as have prob had sepsis recently and it says at increased risk for a year. I would hope they would have done tests if they were concerned in hospital but this not really sure. In a room others are warm in but feeling like a fever so cold an hot under a blanket.

Ended up logging this with 111 at 11 pm last night. Said would receive a call back within 2 hours but haven't had anything yet.

The nurse call back service at 111 closed my case but not sure why as they didn't speak with me. Have been told to go A&E but temp is currently normal so think will wait to see how it progresses. Currently trying to nap and recover.

Anyone know how I should treat a low temp if it happens. Obviously high temp its staying cool and lots of fluids / paracetamol, is the same true t of low temperatures except staying warm? Was feeling shivery but feverish and hot and couldn't work out whether I wanted a hot wate bottle or a fan.
