Suffering From Pneumonia
I have pneumonia in my right middle lobe... I started with temp of 102 and all the other symptoms. Now that I sleep all the time and my fever is gone. I still feel horrible, dr upped to a stronger antibiotic, so we r trying this new stuff. My concern now is that my temperature is really low. compared to my normal temp. I am at 96.5 now.... Is this ok?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
If you have checked the temperature in your mouth after drinking water or mouth breathing the temperature can be low. Are you feeling better after the antibiotic. Any lethargy, increased weakness, giddiness on standing up. It could also be a sign of uncontrolled infection if you feel these. You need to consult your treating Doctor on this one. Also it can be due to dehydration. Drink plenty of water. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
