Body Temp/Fever identification in kids
How do we identify the level of fever in kids ? At times, body Temp shows differently in different places of the body like forehead, back, stomach, legs, under arm etc. We get different temp level when we check using infrared thermometer for my son, so hard to get the actual temp.
