It may well mean you have the flu. Some viruses will cause a lowered temperature. The A-H1N1/09 virus usually causes an elevated temperature but that doesn't mean that you don't have the flu because yours is currently low. See the related question below about the symptoms of Swine Flu and follow the link to the web sites with self evaluation online tools that may help you know. In the mean time, assume you have it and follow the precautions to avoid the spread of the flu in related questions below.

∙ 11y agoNo, you should not worry about that temperature reading. 98.6F is considered normal. Sometimes some viral infections can cause your temperature to go slightly lower than normal. Also some people just "run cool". Usually, though, the flu causes fever and it can go up quickly. If you have the flu and you have a fever under 102F (in otherwise healthy adults), then you are having the typical symptoms and should be better in 7 - 10 days, letting your body do all the work. A fever is a good thing in Infectious Diseases, actually, as long as not too high because some micro-organisms can be killed by the temperature change, that is why our body's immune system creates the fever when fighting infection. You can rest in bed, drink extra fluids, check your temperature and let the immune system do its thing.
