Rectally is the best way...VERY accurate.
How Do You Check Someone's Body Temperature?
It is a quite easy process to check the temperature of a person and the tool that is required for the process is thermometer. Just take the thermometer and give it a good shake so that if it already had someone's temperature in it, it got removed.
When you find that it is free of its past what you have to do is to put the thermometer in the mouth of the person. The area that is best suited for the purpose is just below the tongue and when you put in the mouth you should let it be there for two minutes. When you take it out from the mouth you will find that the mercury of the thermometer is showing some temperature and the temperature it is showing is the body temperature of the person.

It is recommended by doctors that rectally is perhaps the best method to check someone's core temperature.
This is the method I use when my husband, or kids are sick, or when they appear to be physically ill.
When done properly, it can be an enjoyable experience, not one that is fulled with dread and embarrassment and humiliation.

I am the mother of a five year old son and seven year old daughter. When ever they are sick, which, fortunately, is not that often, I check their temperature the old-fashioned way - in the rectum. It is the most accurate method. It is done in private, in the bedroom, with the door closed. I have my child lie down on the bed on his/her tummy. The jammy bottoms and underpants/panties come down. The thermometer is lubed up with vaseline. His/her cheeks are parted; the anal region cleaned with a baby wipe. The thermometer is slowly glided in as deep as possible before it stops. I generally wait about three minutes. While waiting, I lovingly rub/massage their hiney cheeks. After which, I slowly withdraw it and look at the readings. Then, underpants/panties come up followed by the jammy bottoms. During the time when I am waiting, my son/daughter lie still and quiet. They know I am trying to make them better. They both know I love them.
