Ditto. Call a doctor. Your body is designed to work in a specific
temperature range, and anything outside that range - cooler or warmer -
can be detrimental. Low temp is often a sign of shock or your body
shutting down and needs medical treatment. I think the official cut-off
point is either 94 or 95 degrees. In either case, you're very close.
