We have a forehead thermometer and it says my forehead is 98.6 but my cheeks are bright red and so are my ears. do i have a fever?

No: You do not have to have a fever to have those symptoms. You may be embarassed, have rosacea, or any number of anxiety related issues. Hormones can also cause this.
