You can’t tell by looking at your temperature, but the symptoms you’re describing sound like a cold or flu.  It’s probably not serious, but there are a couple things you can do to help yourself feel better.

Wouldn't showering or bathing make me colder?

You’re right, cold water will feel colder when you’re not feeling well.  In fact you should avoid showers or baths if you think you’re feeling sick.  Just so you don’t worry, I’ll explain how your skin works:  Water only makes you feel colder, because the water cools as it evaporates.  This is also true of your breath.  Warm drinks don’t make you warmer because they warm your blood, which is located near your body’s center of mass.  You have a lot of hair too, which also works to block the sun from warming your skin.
