Has any of you members ever tried taking a rectal temperature as soon as you exit the shower? I did. As soon as I dried off from a hot shower, I got my thermometer, shook it down, held it in cold water, lubricated it, separated my cheeks, and inserted my thermometer into my rear end and leaned over the bath tub for 5 minutes. Then when my timer went off, I got the reading of 100. If felt good and cold being inserted. If you have taken a rectal temperature after a bath, what was your reading?

I had a rectal temperature reading of 98.9 and I took it again right before I called it a night and it was 98.7

That is normal. Body temperatures go up after taking a hot shower. Now if you felt like you had fever and took it and got that reading, you would have been in the ER getting checked out.

Last night after chatting with my EMT Friend, I took my rectal rectal temperature after my shower and got a reading of 99.6.
