Is Mild Hypothermia In A 22 Month Old A Matter Of Concern?

My 22 mth old just woke up at 1030 pm with a temp of 94 degrees. I know that is considered mild hypothermia, however is this something I should be concerned about? His body temp is usually normal unless sick, but then it will go up not down. He just got finished with amoxicillan and was told by an urgent care dr on sunday that its the side effects of the antibiotic. Today I noticed a rash on his inner thighs. This is our first child. Agter being awake for about 10 mins I layed him back down and he is resting now
