Which Thermometer is Best for Your Child? Pediatrician Explains!

Which Thermometer Should You Trust? 🤒📏 Ever taken your kid’s temp with different thermometers and gotten totally different numbers? 😩 Or used the same thermometer twice and seen a big change? Before you toss them all out—let’s break down why this happens, which thermometers are best at different ages, and what actually matters when checking for a fever! 🌡 Quick Thermometer Guide: ✔️ Rectal (Gold Standard) – Best for babies under 2, especially under 3 months. ✔️ Oral – Accurate, but wait after eating or drinking. ✔️ Ear (Tympanic) – Not great for babies under 6 months. ✔️ Forehead (Temporal) – Convenient but finicky; technique matters! ✔️ Underarm (Axillary) – Placement is key for accuracy. 💡 My Rule of Thumb: Under 2 years: Rectal for accuracy. 2-5 years: Ear thermometer. 5+ years: Oral thermometer. Remember: fever is a symptom, not a sickness—so knowing how to monitor it right is key! Want my full fever guide as a pediatrician + mom?
