HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son, due to the more blood supply in the head the surface temperature is little more in this area in comparison to other part of body, and this is not the fever, if you have doubt then you can read the body (Core temperature ) with thermometer, this will give the exact reading of the body temperature, hope this information helps you, have good time.
