Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Temperature: Feeling has not been proven as a reliable way to diagnose fever. If you think he has a temperature, the most reliable way to diagnose it, is to measure his temperature in his bottom. A temperature over 100.4 is abnormal. Treat any temperature and have him assessed for any concerns. All the best.
