- Do You Need To Add 0.5 Degree To Armpit Of Digital Thermometer
-Yes. We need to add 0.5 degree to 1.5 degree to the temperature of armpit.
The most important thing is keep sealed space for stable temperature, so the best accurate place is Rectum, second is Oral/Mouth, third is Armpit/underarm
If measured underarm, please do
1. stay room 30 minutes to keep stable temperature
2. make sure no sweat under arm
3. position thermometer tip in the middle of armpit
4. touch the skin directly, no cloth
5. keep the thermometer tip enough time

Extended Data
Method of measuring armpit temperature:
Dry the armpit with a dry towel before measuring the temperature, and then place the steel tip of the thermometer in the armpit without exposure. Clamp the thermometer with the upper arm and measure for 1 minutes, when it beeps and read the result. Note that there should be no underwear or sheets between thermometer and armpit skin to ensure its accuracy.
Temperature standard:
Generally, the normal temperature of armpit is between 36-37 ℃. If the temperature exceeds 37 ℃, it means that there is fever. The degree of fever is generally divided into four levels according to the axillary temperature:
Low heat: 37.5-38 ℃;
Moderate fever: 38.1-39 ℃;
High heat: 39.1-40.5 ℃;
Super high heat: ＞ 40.5 ℃.
When the axillary temperature is over 38.5 ℃, or the whole body is uncomfortable due to fever, it should be treated with cooling.
Under the arm(axillary)
Placing the thermometer in the armpit provides a measurement of surface temperature that can fluctuate by around 0.5 C to 1.5 C from rectal temperature readings in adults. The usual measuring time for this method is approximately 80 to 120 seconds. It should be noted, however, that an exact reading cannot be obtained if, for example, the armpits have been allowed to cool. If this is the case, we recommend extending the measuring time by around 5 minutes in order to obtain the most precise possible reading that corresponds as closely as possible to the core body temperature.
In the mouth(oral)
There are different heat zones in the mouth. As a general rule, the oral temperature is 0.3 C to 0.8 C lower than the rectal temperature. To ensure that reading is as accurate as possible, place the thermometer tip to the left or right of the root of the tongue. The thermometer tip must have constant contact with the tissue during the reading and be placed under the tongue in one of the two heat pockets at the back, keep the mouth closed during the reading and breathe evenly through the nose. Do not eat or drink anything before the measurement. The usual measuring time is approximately 50 to 70 seconds.
