Introduction
Generally, whether a body temperature of 35.5°C is normal depends on the individual's specific circumstances. If a person is in a cold environment and has no other discomfort symptoms, a temperature of 35.5°C can be considered normal. However, if someone consistently maintains a body temperature of 35.5°C and experiences symptoms such as fatigue, chills, or dizziness, it may not be normal.
Generally speaking, whether a body temperature of 35.5°C is normal depends on the individual's specific circumstances. If a person is in a cold environment and has no other discomfort symptoms, a temperature of 35.5°C may be considered normal. However, if someone consistently maintains a body temperature of 35.5°C and experiences symptoms such as fatigue, chills, or dizziness, it may not be normal. In case of discomfort, prompt medical consultation is recommended. Details are as follows:
Some individuals may naturally have a lower baseline body temperature due to physiological differences. Additionally, body temperature may slightly decrease when exposed to cold environments. If the individual has no other symptoms and their temperature remains consistently at this level, a temperature of 35.5°C can be regarded as normal.
If a person’s body temperature persistently falls below the normal range (below 36.0°C), a temperature of 35.5°C may indicate hypothermia. When accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, chills, or dizziness, it could be a sign of underlying medical conditions, such as hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, or malnutrition. In such cases, a temperature of 35.5°C may not be normal.
If low body temperature persists along with other symptoms, timely medical evaluation is necessary to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, maintaining healthy lifestyle and dietary habits in daily life is important to strengthen immune function and prevent illness.
