No, it's worse. If you're ill, and your temperature is low, that means your body is unable to maintain temperature. A high temperature from fever signals that your body is taking action against the infection/illness, but a low temperature means a lack of activity in the immune system. However, healthy body temperatures often falls significantly below the commonly cited value of 98.6°F, including as low as low as 96.9 °F. The currently accepted normal range for oral temperature is 98.2±1.3 °F and temperature may vary as much as ±1°F over the course of a day in a single healthy individual. The medical condition of hypothermia (low body temperature) is generally accepted as 95°F (35°C) or below.
