Thermometers
Everything I've ever heard or read says that the ear thermometers are completely useless. For Magnus, I've relied on using a digital thermometer in the armpit when I need to get a temp.
Most of the time, his mood has been at least as reliable an indicator as the temp. When he's feverish, he doesn't want to do anything but mope and snuggle. Another reliable fever checker is kissing her forehead--your lips are a much more constant temperature than your hands. If she feels just warm, but acts normal, she's probably fine. If she feels hot and acts mopey, take off all her clothes and get the Tylenol/Motrin whatever in her ASAP.
