If her temp is 104 or higher and not going down with medication.
Same with me temp wise.
Forehead and ear are the same really. You usually need to add about a degree to each as mouth or rectal are most accurate.

Baby: 103 degrees and not going down with tylenol/motrin and cold bath - lower if something is just off, rely on your mom gut.
Myself: 102-103 degrees not going down with medication, lower if I have an underlying health condition or feel really sick
I am not sure what is more accurate - rectal is most so that is what we do for the LO.

100.00 for a one year old...
103.00 for an adult.
I work in the ER and this is what our standards go by.
And do both the forehead & the ear temps & go by the HIGHER of the two...you always want to treat a situation worse then it is rather then treating it less then what it is.
