How Low a Temperature is still OK?

My 25 yr old son has a temp of 95.7. He feels cold to me, hot to himself. My daughters and I often have temps in the 95-97 range. If we have 98.6, we are SICK. Do guys do this also? He says he feels sick.

My body temp can be as low as 94.6F.
I do suffer from thyroid disease. I was told that most people with thyroid disease have low body temps.
I'm not saying this is your sons case but it may not hurt to have a simple blood test to see if he has thyroid disease or something else going on.
I know several people that do not have a normal 98.6 temp and they are perfectly well but I'd still get him checked just to be safe.
