Posting here fore traffic. Have owned a braun ear thermometer for a few years for dc.
DS’s temperature is always around 37-37.5 sometimes a little higher. I’ve been checking their temps since March and this is always the case for him. Can it be normal to have a naturally slightly higher body temperature? I know he hasn’t actually got a fever because this has been the case for weeks and months. Never known it to be under 37. I would say average is 37.3-37.4.
Many places are saying they are checking temperatures on arrival and anything over 37.5 you won’t be allowed in (a local tourist attraction).
It’s made me wonder if ear thermometers are accurate? He had to visit the hospital recently. They used a forehead thermometer on entry and no problems whatsoever and said his temperature was fine.
Advice?
