Babies: 9 - 12 Months

fever help

We have a safety first digital themometer (sp?) that we use to take DS's temp under his arm.  When you use those I have always heard you are supposed to add a degree to get their true temp.  Is that true?  He has been running a 102 degree temp for about the last 24 hours and I know its caused by his ear infection.  We give him motrin as directed and it'll go down but come right back up a couple of hours later.  So I am trying to determine if you add a degree and he has actually had a 103 degree fever for the last day or not. 

 Also, how much luck have you had with giving them a warm bath?  Any other ideas to lower his temp?
