Fever Information
Fever is a very common symptom in children. It is part of your child’s normal response to infections. Fever is defined as axillary (under the arm) temperature of 100.5°F. Oral (mouth) and rectal temperatures are generally a bit higher than axillary temperature. We recommend that you use a digital thermometer, and measure the temperature under the arm or orally first. Rectal temperature is the most accurate method for infants less than two months old. Ear (otic) thermometers are expensive and often inaccurate, so we do not recommend them.
