Rectal Temperature: How to Take
• Age: Birth to 4 years old
• Have your child lie stomach down on your lap. Another way is on the back with the legs pulled up to the chest.
• Slide the thermometer gently into the anus no more than 1 inch. If your child is less than 6 months old, put it in no more than ½ inch. That means until you can no longer see the silver tip.
• Be gentle. There should not be any resistance. If there is, stop.
• Hold your child still. Leave a digital thermometer in until it beeps (about 10 seconds).
• Your child has a fever if the rectal temp is above 100.4° F (38° C).
• Warning: do not take rectal temperatures in young children with leukemia or other cancers. Also avoid in other children with weak immune systems such as organ transplant, HIV or sickle cell disease. Armpit Temperature: How to Take
• Age: Any age for screening
• Put the tip of the thermometer in an armpit. Make sure the armpit is dry.
• Close the armpit by holding the elbow against the chest. Do this until it beeps (about 10 seconds). The tip of the thermometer must stay covered by skin.
• Your child has a fever if the armpit temp is above 99.0° F (37.2° C). If you have any doubt, take your child's temp by rectum or forehead.
Oral Temperature: How to Take  • Age: 4 years and older • If your child had a cold or hot drink, wait 30 minutes. • Put the thermometer under one side of the tongue towards the back. It's important to put the tip in the right place. • Have your child hold the thermometer with his lips and fingers. Don't use the teeth to keep in place. Keep the lips sealed until it beeps (about 10 seconds).
• Your child has a fever if the temp is above 100° F (37.8° C).  Digital Pacifier Temperature: How to Take  • Age: Birth to 1 year. Only good for screening. Requires the baby to suck on it, which is not always possible. • Have your child suck on the pacifier until it beeps (about 10 seconds).
• Your child has a fever if the pacifier temp is above 100° F (37.8° C).
• Age: 6 months and older (not accurate before 6 months)

• Then aim the tip of the ear probe between the opposite eye and ear.

Being outdoors on a cold day will cause a low reading. Your child needs to be inside for 15 minutes before taking the temp. Earwax, ear infections and ear tubes do not keep from getting correct readings. Forehead (Temporal Artery) Temperature: How to Take • Age: Any age  • This thermometer reads the heat waves coming off the temporal artery.
