Concerned about my fathers low body temperature. My mother has a bacterial infection following the removal of a J-Tube providing supplemental nutrition while she fights Stage IV breast cancer. She is on Cipro. However, my father has suddenly come down with severe chills, headache, shortness of breath, and his temperature is running at about 93.7 degrees. Should I be concerned that he has contracted the infection from my mother? Or, might this be a passing flu? His body aches as well. Her temperature is running at about 94.5 degrees. Both parents are 70 years old.
You need to quickly get your father investigated to start with a CBC and a X-ray chest is essential he may be having pneumonia so its is important that you take him to the nearest MD physician and get him examined
