For children of any age, parents and caregivers should be attentive to changes in eating or sleeping habits, coughing, pain or other marked changes in a child’s behavior.

An accurate temperature reading is especially important during the first 3 months of your child’s life. During this time, a rectal thermometer remains the most accurate way to measure your child’s temperature.

There are several ways to take your child’s temperature. Our experts recommend rectal and oral methods because of their accuracy, and advise against checking temperature more than once a day. Additional temperature readings add little value.

A child is considered feverish when he or she has an oral or rectal temperature of 38.2 Celsius (100.7 Fahrenheit) or higher.

Fever is common in children but is not necessarily harmful, nor is it always evidence of a serious illness. Fever is a sign that the body’s inflammatory response has been turned on. The most common cause of this is a viral or bacterial infection. Fever, or higher body temperature is thought to be adaptive and beneficial in that it helps neutralize the infecting microbe.
