Is there anything unusual?My husband had this problem during his childhood and oneday he fainted because of higher temperature. At that time doctors said that he may become blind or deaf or likethat. But he loss his complexion. I am very much afraid of this high temperature. can u advice me
Hi, temperature on head area of child is usually more than other body parts. Hands and Limbs are usually exposed to here and as a result they are cooler than head area. However, the best way to take temperature is in the armpit. The thermometer should be kept in armpit for around 2 minutes and after that temperature should be taken. If it is more than 100 Fahrenheit then only is fever. If it is less than Hun Chat Doctor.  I hope this helps. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
