If you, your child, or patient has a fever: DO NOT bundle them up with clothing or blankets. Tympanic and oral thermometers can be highly inaccurate based on a ton of factors as well.
150% recommend all parents to buy and use one on their child. In children (and adults when necessary) a rectal temp is always done in a hospital setting since it’s the most accurate measurement available for temperature checks. There are a multitude of factors that could make the patient feel warmer/colder than they really are, which could lead to you over/under estimating your fever guess, which could then lead to not give Tylenol/motrin when needed, or even give them meds when they don’t. Although for the most part, you wouldn’t be able to really tell until the temp is like 102+.Īlthough your hand is useful, by no means is it considered accurate. You can definitely get a gauge whether a patient is febrile based on how hot they feel. We categorize fevers by any temp above 100.4. “Normal” body temp ranges anywhere from like 97-99 degrees.
