DH Ordered a new fancy in ear thermometer today. Because of this he’s been taking temps all day 🙈
DC is absolutely fine. Feels a normal temp, maybe slightly warm when he came him from playing in the garden (it’s a hot day) but when DH checked his temp it was 37.8!
I now think this means we have to get a test and isolate but DH runs warm - normal temp for him is 37.5 and because he’s been taking DC temp all day ( he keeps demanding it and thinks it’s a game) it’s fluctuated throughout from 37.4 to 37.8 and we haven’t given him any medicine or anything
He’s not flushed at all, perfectly happy and eating and playing etc… but we still need to isolate, right?
DH thinks I’m being OTT
The thermometer gave normal readings for us by the way. DH is 37.5 and I’m 36.8 so i don’t think it’s the thermometer
Our old thermometer is giving the same readings for me and DH as the ear one but making DS to be lower at 36.8 (it’s a forehead one)
The only thing I can think of is he has teeth coming through (he’s 17 months) but I still think we need to follow the guidance
