[USMCBride08]

how was it taken? rectally, under the arm, with a temporal therm.? 

[MomTo2Boys2526]

Thats gotta be wrong, take it again...

Was it under the arm? Forehead? Ear? Mouth? Rectal?

 Take it again. If you have a different thermometer use it.

[betheroo]

Yep, retake it.  Can't be right.  How does he feel when you kiss his forehead?

[pipers_mom]

Take it again, and then continue to take it every few hours. You need to figure out his normal temp. I know mine runs 96.8 and my DD runs around 97. My mom usually runs around 95. Some people just run lower then others. Just take his temp a few times a day over the next couple of days and see what the average is, and then if he ever has a higher then normal temp., even if it isn't "high" by the normal standards, you will know that he is running a fever.

 What kind of thermometer is it? Is it digital? I think you might need to change your batteries...there's no way that's right.

[single_and_preg]

I think the thermometer is broke, take your own temp and see what it says.

[ladypyro]

i took it under the arm and its a digital thermometer.

It is probably off. Although my normal temperature is 96ish, lol.
