Take Temperature: Aloha, we all release heat from the tops of our head and our feet. You check for fever by feeling his forehead with the back of your hand. If it feels very warm then get a thermometer and check his temperature. If this is normal then no need for concern.

No: Just monitor temp with digital rectal temperature. If all temps are below 99.5, there are nothing for you to worry about!
