Lisa_H Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have three kids and I have never used a rectal thermometer. My pediatrician said it wasn't necessary unless the fever was extremely high and even then you can let the doctors handle it. It is the most accurate but even when you go for checkups the pediatrician uses an ear thermometer. It just seems so invasive and uncomfortable for a child. Just my two cents.
