Hot Body Areas
Parents can easily check for fever by touching on the neck or forehead of their toddlers. If the area is hotter or warmer than normal, it indicates an increase in body temperature. A useful tip is to use the back of the hand because the skin on this area is more sensitive than that on the palm. Avoid checking on the feet or hands of the children because these parts can feel cold even when the body temperature is actually high. Also, make sure the surrounding temperature is not too cold or hot. It can affect the precision of your examination. [4]
