 99.6 is not a fever if the temperature is taken rectally. A rectal temperature of 100 or higher is considered a fever. 98.6 is the average normal for a temperature taken orally.

Usually a rectal temperature is taken at that age because an kid is thought to be able to b incapable of holding a thermometer in his mouth responsibly. What was the reason for taking a rectal temp instead of an oral temp?
