Body temperature
My baby girl 2 year old. In chennai the climate is extremely heat. Heat is directly exposed in hall room. She spends most of the time in hall playing. Do her temperature raise due to climate. Sometimes if we touch her forehead, neck its hot. If we check her temperature it's 98.6, 99. But she's active. Where must we check for temperature?? Forehead, neck, armpit??? We keep her in AC due to raise in temperature. Is the body heat due to climate??

Temperature in children should be checked in Armpit, if it is less than 99 then it is considered normal. One reading of 99 Cannot be abnormal.If it is persistently about 99 on multiple occasions, Then it has to be considered abnormal,and then you should consult a paediatrician
