Can ear infection impose ear thermometers to show sophisticated heat compared to the rectal heat?

My kid has a ear infection, when using the Ear thermometer to scan her frenzy, it shows very glorious temperature. When doing a rectal scan - the disorientation is lower? Is the ear infection causing the ear to be hotter than the body heat? My Ear thermometer is very accurate and I hold not yet have any issues with it. Any suggestions on what is cause this? and also should i stop checking her temperature contained by the ear.


Answers:    Yes, infection causes increased blood-flow, cause increased temperature;
this will result contained by an inaccurate warmth reading if the reading is taken from or around the infected area.

To avoid the requirement for rectal temperature taking: try a digital thermometer underneath the arm-pit until it beeps or an oral thermometer.

Good luck.
