My son has been spiking a temperature on and off for the past day, as the meds take effect and then wear off. My hand-on-forehead has been pretty accurate! I can consistently detect a fever, but am only accurate within a degree or so. Except when his temp hit 102.5 last night; I didn't realize it was that high!
How accurate is your hand as a thermometer?

I can tell if she's extra warm or not, but I have no idea about how much!
My Grandma was a master at this. She always knew if I was feverish.

I'm pretty spot on with the forehead kiss method. Hands aren't as reliable.

Half a degree - haha. I have to kiss her forehead though, my hand doesn't work. My husband always doubts me and takes her temp - and it's kind of become a game. Always within half a degree.

Bad. When I thought he is probably fine, he'd get a 101+ measurement. When I thought he was burning up (as in I thought it would be at least 101, like last night, when he cried and woke for 5 times), I constantly measure him he was between 99.5-100.5 . I just gave him advil anyway because he was too cranky after he woke up I started to think my thermometer broke.
