Question
Can it always be correctly judged, that a person has fever, only by touching the person? (Page 123)
Answer

It cannot always be correctly judged that a person has fever, only by touching the person.
If a person has a normal body temperature and the hand touching that person is cold, the person will feel to be warm to the hand. If the hand touching a person is warm, the person with fever may be felt as at normal temperature.
For correct judgement that a person has fever or not, we must use clinical thermometer correctly.
