Measuring the temperature at different areas of
the body will return different results: The body
temperature measured rectally is normally approx.
0.5 °F (0.3 °C) higher than in the mouth and the
temperature in the mouth is in turn 0.5 °F (0.3 °C)
higher than the body temperature measured in the
armpit.
To determine body temperature, it is recommended
that you measure your body temperature when
healthy on three to four consecutive days at differ-
ent times of the day. This way, you can determine
the normal body temperature, take note of it and, if
necessary, compare the temperature readings with
the normal readings taken for your body.
