For the last three days I have had a fever around 100.7 and now I have a temperature of 94.7 is this ok? I have been to the doc yesterday and got antibotics but haven't taken it yet because you have to take it on a full stomach and I am not hungry yet. I haven't eaten much for the past two days either. And now my temp is 94.7. Is this a sign I am getting better?
 
Hypothermia is a condition in which an organism's temperature drops below that required for normal metabolism and bodily functions. In warm-blooded animals, core body temperature is maintained near a constant level through biologic homeostasis. But, when the body is exposed to cold, its internal mechanisms may be unable to replenish the heat that is being lost to the organism's surroundings.

Hypothermia is the opposite of hyperthermia, the condition that causes heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
