Gesture & etiquette
Approach calmly and gently place the back of your hand near (not touching) their forehead; present the thermometer clearly before using it; speak in a lower, soothing voice; maintain physical closeness to communicate reassurance.
Use the observational softener '〜ようですね' (it seems like) rather than stating 'You have a fever' — this avoids alarming language while still addressing the situation; the final phrase ('できることをします') communicates care-centered commitment without making medical claims.
