Baby DS felt very warm in the middle of the night - hands, forehead and back of neck. According to testing criteria he needs a test. We checked his temperature with a thermometer though and it was only 36.5, which is normal for him. So does he need a test or not?

The testing criteria just say hot to the touch and that taking the temperature isn’t necessary but the thermometer says he doesn’t have a fever...

Tricky, I think they've changed the advice on how to tell if it's a temp. How old is he?
