Confused about temperatures

Confused about temperatures

When I take my baby's temperature rectally, what is considered "normal" vs a "slight fever"?

I've taken it a few times when he was fussy or not himself and I thought maybe he was sick, and it was always 99.1 or 99.2. But I thought I read that 99.6 or something like that is "normal" for rectal temps. Is that correct?

Re: Confused about temperatures

100.4 rectally is a temp, anything below is normal.

99.6 orally is a temp
