Here’s advice from another flesh-and-blood pediatrician with a modicum of common sense.

If your child is older than 6 months and is fully-immunized. DONT TAKE HER TEMPERATURE. Your hands and eyes will tell you how sick she is. The temperature might only make you panic and act in a way that is not in your child’s best interest.

best,

Flea
