Question:
I was wondering if it is ok to take a teenagers temperature rectally.?
Answers:
In a hospital setting, rectal temperatures are one thing. At home, quite another. No, it's not okay. It's demeaning, humiliating and unnecessary.
I don't recommend you take a temp at the armpit but if for some reason you need to, add one degree to what you see on the thermometer.
