Re: when is a fever to low???

I'd retake it and if it is still low call your ped.

I will say that I have a lower temp (like 96 range) but that didn't happen til I was older.

Re: when is a fever to low???

how did you take the temp, ear, rectal etc?

If you took it ear I would take it again rectal and see how it is then. I find my ear thermometer is not very accurate.

Re: when is a fever to low???

I would re-take it and take it rectally. Even when used correctly, ear thermometers can show a temperature of 1 degree below the actual temp.

I've had some issues with rectal thermometers too. I had bought a Vicks one and I swear I never get the correct reading...it's always low. I only use the one we took home from the hospital still, since it seems to be the most accurate.
