Brief Answer:
He is having normal body temperature.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I don't think you have to worry much about body temperature 96.3- 97.5 F° . This doesn't show any health problem and is quite normal body temperature.
The signs of sorethroat and congestion may be related to flu or common cold.
If you think that thermometer is broken you can buy another one . He can have cold hands but elevated body temperature and if he is having flu or common cold you may need a thermometer to check his body temperature.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
