In reply to: Pete 's message, "Re: Age and Rectal Temperature for Family Members" on Wednesday, January 03, 2018, 04:21: pm
 I think temp should be taken rectally by parents to age 13-14. This is because rectal temp is not only temperature taking, but also a little examination of the rectal region which should be done with any kid with fever. All parts of the kid should be inspected when a kid is sick with fever or other distinct sickness with general symptoms, and the rectal region is no exception.

I think that a child that is old enough to take hisher temp properly should be allowed to do it self, and choose method self, of which 13-14 may be the appropriate age. But the kid should be asked if heshe feels any symptoms in the pelvic zones also after this age.s

But i do not think there should be any limit of age for parents to take rectal temp if the child wishes them to do so, and it should not matter who takes the temp.

The taboo about seeing or touching the intimate zones of children, even though the objective for the taboo is to hinder sexual abuse, also hinders parents to take care of the kids properly, and to put it bluntly, I am sure many kids die worldwide because of this society-forced negligence.
