You should wait 20-30 minutes after, smoking, eating, or drinking a hot or cold liquid to take your temperature. You should wait at least an hour after extensive exercise or a hot bath for an accurate reading.

At least five minutes (same as if you were to eat or drink something then take an oral temperature reading).
Take your temperature at the same time every day for a week. Use an oral thermometer. Do not test right after you've had anything to drink--hot or cold drinks can temporarily change the oral temp.

GLASS DOES CONDUCT HEAT. It will take on the temperature around it. If you have a very hot drink inside a glass and you touch it, its going to feel very hot. If you have a very cold drink inside a glass and you touch it, it is going to feel very cold.
The best time to take temperature is right when you wake up. This is because your body has not been doing anything that might raise temperature yet.
5-10 minutes

You can use a thermometer in the mouth and up the butt But now there are new ways on the forehead instead of the simple feeling of the forehead. There is the Exergen thermometer that works by simply swiping straight across the forehead (sometimes not completely effective)
