A member asked:
Can i take a rectal temp 20 min after giving toddler a suppository if it didn't work? could that cause bowel perforation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: I assume your toddler took some suppository for fever. It would not effect so quickly so i will give another 20 minutes before i take the temp/onset of action 30min to 4 hr/. It won't cause any perforation if you use it properly.
