What is the reason for you to check temperature ? If you are checking it due to some abnormal symptoms
it has to be interpreted accordingly . Usually temp between 98 to 100 without other signs do not warrant action . This low temp could be just a temporary phenomenon, may be your AC is harsh for baby , may be the thermometer did not have contact with arm pit . Worry not , focus on other symptoms and signs and act accordingly .
