I wouldn't wake them up because when unwell they'll need their sleep.
I've never checked them at night when ill but then my child wakes at night and/or we cosleep so I would notice their body temp

If it was me I’d try to take their temp under their armpit so hopefully you don’t have to stir them too much- then again my baby is a heavy sleeper so it likely wouldn’t wake him up that way 🤷🏼‍♀️
