Hi.I know it might be a weird question for u all,but I was wondering,when I take my temperature from my mouth,how many degrees should I add,because there is always a difference between the temperature taken from mouth,ear and u know THAT place..The most accurate is the last one,so how many degrees should I add when I take it from mouth????????Thanks

"Oral readings can be around half a degree lower than body temperature."

Thanks for the reply.I am taking my temperature to know whether it is low or normal for BO

Hi.A nurse just told me that we should increase 0.5 to 0.7 degrees.so if it is 37.0 C that means it is actually 37.5 or 37.7 C.so?

Exactly, oral can be half a degree lower than what you actually are. :-)

If it is half a degree lower then i don't have low temperature,one thing less to worry about.LOL.
