Brief Answer:
Dress warm and eat well!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this temperature of 96.5. This is borderline low and explains why you have been feeling cold. My first advise is that you should dress warm and eat well. If these two measures fail to address your problem, I will suggest you go in for further evaluation and treatment by your primary care physician at a later date. Keep me posted.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
