What does it mean if your temperature's is lower than normal?

I've been at 97.0 for all of today, fluctuating a little bit, and I feel a bit sick. My normal body temperature is 98.6 and I don't have diabetes or thyroid problems or anything...

    Your body never stays at 98.6 it can fluctuate constantly its homeostasis your bodys temperature will get warmer and colder don't worry about it.

    Well you shouldn't worry too much. My body temperature is always a little low myself and I'm fine. It might just be cold where you are. Try bundling up and as you feel sick, get plenty of bed rest and get some vitamin C because these could be early signs of the flu. But if your body temperature were to get much lower, you could suffer from hypothermia, which is the opposite of a fever. And a good medicine would be Air-bourne, but you should ask your doctor before taking it. Feel better soon.
