Thermometer accuracy from most to least accurate: rectal, temporal(forehead), oral, tympanic(ear). I’m a paramedic, at work we use tympanic thermometers because of the convenience factor but we’re mainly looking for the presence of a fever and not the exact number. It’s consistently 1-2 degrees off. I get a lot of 96 degrees. In the hospital, they use a $300 Exergen temporal thermometer and with kids with high fevers they get a rectal. At home for my son, I use a $26 [Exergen temporal thermometer](Exergen Temporal Scan Forehead Artery Baby Thermometer Tat-2000c Scanner https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004T6G550/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Lvg.zbTPVSA0V) I bought on Amazon.
If you don't mind spending ~$400, this is what we use at the hospital. If you don't want to spend that much, the same company makes this for ~$30.
We just bought this one based on the recommendation of a few of my Facebook friends. They only had good things to say about it!
Temporal artery thermos work just as well. Best $30 spent.

Only some cheaper models this one always works and it's made by the same folks who make most of the temporal thermos in hospitals.
We have one you swipe across the forehead and really like it! Got it at Costco too (link is for Amazon though), so it was a pretty good deal :)
