Posted on Mon, 2 Feb 2015
Question: I have a cold with chest and head congestion. I just took my temperature and it is 95.something. But it is cold in my house and I can't breath so I took it under my arm and it is 93. Should I be concerned? I don't feel cold, not much anyway

Brief Answer:
normal temperature.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, your temperature is normal. Temperature less than 95, is subnormal.
Rectal temperature is accurate temperature. Please check the rectal temperature.
For cold and chest congestion do steam inhalation. Antihistamines + decongestant tablet twice daily may be helpful. Hope my answers have helped you. Pleased to help you further. Thanks.
