What other uses are there for a regular thermometer apart from checking your temp?
By 'regular thermometer' I presume you mean a medical thermometer, since that type is designed specifically for checking body tempertaure in humans and would not be suitable for most other uses. Other thermometers have a more general use, so that you can check the temperature of your room, or fridge, greenhouse etc.

What is the average underarm temperature for a 5 year old?
A child's body temperature is the same as an adult's body temperature. A normal oral temperature is 98.6 degrees. Forehead or underarm temperature is normally one degree less because it is more exposed to the air which results in less than a core-body temperature, so a normal forehead or underarm temp can be around 97.6. Note: A high underarm temp should be re-checked orally to confirm a fever. For example, if a forehead or underarm temp is 100.8, the oral temp is likely 101.8. Rectal temp is sometimes preferred to give a more accurate reading.

Why is rectal temp higher than oral temp?
Rectal temperature is much less influenced by other factors.
