Self-help: When to take your temperature
If you are feeling hot
If you have symptoms of a cold, cough, congestion or runny nose
If you are vomitting
If you have diarrhoea
If you are not eating well
If you feel irritable or are in pain
If the temperature is 39ºC (101F) or over, call your doctor
Take the temperature again in an hour
It is important to remember that medicines given to reduce fever will bring down the temperature but may mask the infection. Seek medical advice.
Your doctor/nurse can show you how to use a thermometer.
