A really good indicator for temperature in the absence of a thermometer is the kiss test - it’s more reliable than your hand. Kiss their forehead and it if it feels hot to your lips they have a fever. It should feel either slightly cool or you should feel nothing temperature wise as that means they’re about the same temp as you.
