What Is The Meaning Of Body Having Lower Temperature Than The Normal Body Temperature?

I just woke up in the middle of the night to a sore throat and feeling really cold. I took my temperature and it is at 96.6. My normal temperature is usually around 98.7. What does it mean when your temp is actually lower than your norm instead of higher?
