My son jayden has recently been diagnosed with some condition that his body temperature does not register well from an oral reading. The doctor said, that to check his temperature rectally evryday about twice , because with this condition if his temp gets too high or low , it oculd be a sign that he is getting sick. I don't remember the name of the condition, all I know is that it has to do with the brain and the temperature not being accurate oral, underarm , or eve in the ear. He is 14 and seems to be ok with it, but I know there will come a day when he will get sick of the rectal method . What shoud I do? Tell him that he may need this done for a while and just make it as comfy as best as I can for him?
