Some causes of slightly lower-than-usual body temperature include infections, heavy alcohol use, and hypothyroidism. Occasional low temperatures are common since body temperature changes throughout the day, the Mayo Clinic says.
Body temperature may be abnormal due to fever (high temperature) or hypothermia (low temperature). A fever is indicated when body temperature rises about one degree or more over the normal temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Hypothermia is defined as a drop in body temperature below 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
