Save another £15 and just buy a cheap thermometer.
In real terms, you can tell your child has a fever just by looking at them - don't need to know how hot.

In real terms that is a very daft comment. Establishing if the temperature is higher or lower than normal, and also tracking how it changes, is an extremely important diagnostic tool.

So later when doctor ask about fever you say '' I believe that it was somewhere between 38.5 and 39.9''?

Your indecision over the past hour would be funny if it weren't so dangerous.

No really, it isn't. Usual workflow as follows:
1) Child feels unwell
2) Check temp
3) Are they hot? Give Calpol.
4) Not hot but still unwell? Give Calpol.
5) Given Calpol but still hot? Give Calprofen.
6) Given both but still hot? Cold bed bath.
7) Still hot? See a trained medical professional. Tell them their temperature was 39.6 - get ignored - watch as the trained person takes their own reading, using a thermometer that cost much less than your ridiculous overpriced gadget. :sunglasses: Get sent home as it's just a bug that's going round.
