Temperature Taking

There are several ways to take your child's temperature: axillary (armpit), oral, rectal, tympanic (ear), and skin. Also, there are different types of thermometers used for each: digital and chemical dot (such as NextTemp).
We do not recommend a glass mercury thermometer due to safety issues with mercury and broken glass.
