I've been feeling a bit off and noticed my temperature is around 98.2F. I'm kind of worried if that's considered a fever, especially since it's summer. Is having a temperature between 97 and 99F something I should be concerned about right now?

No its not considered as fever

Can I drink coconut water when I have a cold? If it's okay, how much should I be having each day to be good for my body?

-Yes, you can drink coconut water during a cold as it helps keep you hydrated and provides electrolytes. Aim for 1-2 cups per day, but listen to your body and adjust based on how you're feeling.
