Sorry I seem to have been on here all day about temperatures. So which reading is more accurate, forehead or ear?

ear i suppose is a more central reading than a forehead.

I would say ear. The ear thermoscans are used on childrens wards now, so I would say they are more accurate.

Thanks, my themometre is giving wildly different readings. I was more inclined to go with the ear, as it was higher and dd feels really hot.
