Generally, the temperature reading measured under the armpit should be added with 0.5 degrees to represent the temperature in the body, and hospitals generally do the same. As long as the temperature is normal at 36.2-37.5, under normal circumstances, the human body can fluctuate up and down by 0.5- 1 degree every day, but it must be measured for 10 minute and clamped to ensure the accuracy of measurement.

Precautions for measuring body temperature:
1, users should count the total number of thermometers before and after measuring their body temperature. When shaking the thermometer, use your wrist strength and don't touch anything else to avoid collision. Never wash the thermometer with hot water or scald it with boiling water to prevent it from bursting.
2, infants should not measure oral temperature.
3. When the user eats or drinks water, or carries out steam inhalation, cheek cold compress and hot compress, etc. Oral temperature should be measured every 30 minutes.
4. When measuring the infant's temperature, users should be especially careful to avoid accidents.
5. If the body temperature is found to be inconsistent with the condition, it should be kept by the user and re-measured.
