thermometers Parents often get confused about what is the best way to take their
child's temperature and what kind of thermometer they should buy. In general,

way to check your child's temperature. Even if you use a different method to
take your younger infant's temperature, you should confirm it with a rectal
thermometer to be safe.Even a small difference, like a half a degree, could mean
the difference between simple observation and a full sepsis workup with a spinal
tap when your 2 or 3 month old has a fever. For most other children, instead of

and how you took it.You can then leave it to him or her to interpret what the
temperature means. Although parents may not believe it, the exact temperature is
