How can you treat typhoid dengue malaria together?
It is very common practice in developing countries to treat the typhoid fever as a case of malaria, specially in the first week. You tell patient that he has malaria. He does not respond to your antimalarial treatment. Then you have no option but to tell the patient that he has got both malaria and typhoid at the same time. The fact is that typhoid is usually difficult to diagnose in the first week of fever. It is always better to rule out the malarial fever by giving the antimalarial treatment in first week of febrile illness.

What are the contraindications of rectal temperature?
This method for assessing temperature has long been considered more accurate than other methods. The problem with that rationale is that insertion into feces can actually provide an inaccurate reading. Not to mention that the risk for tearing the sensitive tissue at the anus, or for inserting the thermometer too far, causing a rectal perforation, diminishes the value of the accuracy argument anyway. This method is particularly contraindicated in newborns < 1 month; patients with diarrhea, hemorrhoids, or recent rectal surgery.

The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. Measurements are commonly taken in the mouth, the ear, the anus, or the armpit. In females, the vagina can also be used. The median daytime temperature among healthy adults are as follows:
Normal human body temperature varies slightly from person to person and by the time of day. Consequently, each type of measurement has a range of normal temperatures. The range for normal human body temperatures, taken orally, is 36.8±0.7 °C (98.2±1.3 °F). This means that any oral temperature between 36.1 and 37.5 °C (96.9 and 99.5 °F) is likely to be normal.
ORALLY? Yes, RECTALLY OR BY EAR? No.

No, but it's only 0.2 F. degrees away from what would be considered a high fever. Oral temps between 99.5 F. and 100.0 F. are MILD fevers, and 100.1 F. to 100.9 F. are MODERATE fevers. 101.0 F.and over is a high fever, and 104.0 F. or more needs immediate medical attention. However, you can still have a fever at as low as 99.0 F. taken orally (this is called a "low grade fever").
