My dad is a pediatrician and alyaws insists on rectal temps I don't even bother to call him foradvice on how to deal with Graham's illness until I have the right temp. My panic point is when G loses interest in milk. He is *obsessed* with his milk (which happens to be soy milk due to a dairy allergy)and drinks it even when he won't eat or play. Once we get to the point of no food, no play *and* no milk, I panic irrespective of what the higly reliable rectal thermometer might suggest.
