The digital thermometer is precise like the glass ones were in the past. The tiny variations in temperature that you notice between one measurement and another are signs of extreme accuracy because they pinpoint the normal oscillation of the human body.

Let's get ready to measure! Before doing so, avoid drinking hot or cold beverages.Don't take a bath or a shower. Take a break from physical activity and, something that never hurts. Don't smoke for 15 minutes before taking your temperature.

First and foremost, let's learn a crucial secret: How to correctly position the thermometer. Look, this is the bulb. It is the only part that can sense the body temperature. Be careful to position it correctly.

With whatever method you choose, place it verticale to the axillary fold, resting directly against the skin. Now wait for the thermometer to beep.

Under your tongue, keeping your mouth closed tight. Wait for the beep. And especially if you have a baby: rectal temperature taking. Fast and reliable. Just half a centimeter of bulb and…beep!

Remember that each method has its own reference temperature.
For an axillary measurement it is 36.7. Whereas orally, it is 37 degrees. And with the rectal method, it is 37 and a half degrees.

And if you still have doubts, just ask your doctor or a specialist.
