My son is 1year 9months old his back will be hot few times but if we check the temperature it will be normal on the forehead and normal in the underarms but temperature shows on his back wanted to know the reason for this but he will be active all the time
As we are seeing tactile temperature by our hand , we may feel hot depends up on our hand temperature and outside temperatures..so to take fever we should check temperature with thermometer and if it is 100.4 F then only it's fever ...
