No.
The oral temperature (under the tongue) is a degree lower than central. The newer temporal artery thermometers also take a central temperature.

Do you add one degree when using forehead scanner thermometers?
no
Can the temperature be measured by keeping the thermometer at some place other than the mouth?
You can take a temperature by placing the thermometer in the armpit, when you get the reading add a degree and that is the temp you would have gotten if you had done it orally. 98.6 is the normal human temp but we all very slightly.
21 degrees Celsius is what temperature?
Start by multiplying 21 with 9 and divide by 5. Then add 32 to the answer. In this case the answer is 69.8 degree fahrenheit.
Can ordinary water be boiled in 95 degree Celsius or 105 degree Celsius?
pure water (with no impurities added ) can only boil at 100 degrees Celsius , no other temperature . But if we add impurities to it than the temperature at which the water will boil can increase or decrease. Another point is that when we increase or decrease the atmospheric pressure, the temperature at which ordinary water boils (i.e.100 degrees Celsius) can also increase or decrease.
What happens to the temperature of boiling water when heat is added to the boiling water?
If you add energy to a boiling liquid, it will just boil faster, but the temperature will remain the same, at the boiling point. All the energy goes into phase change, not heating.
Do you add one degree when using forehead scanner thermometers?
no
Do you add a degree when taking temperature from the ear?
I believe you do add a degree. You also add a degree when taking temperature by armpit.
Do you add a degree when taking temperature by ear?
add a degree
Do you add a degree when taking temperature underarm?
yes, add one degree when taking underarm temperature
Do you add a degree when taking temperature on the temple?
no
Do you add a degree under the tongue?
No, this is an accurate reading. You add a degree when obtaining temperature under the arm (axillary) or in the ear (tympanic).
When taking temp under arm do you add or minus temp?
You add 1 degree (Fahrenheit) or 1.8 degrees, depending on opinion. The reason for the uncertainty is that underarm measurement of body temperature is not very accurate. Nevertheless, it is a meaninful indication.
What is 40.1 Celsius in Fahrenheit?
104.18 degrees F. A quick tip: Take the temperature in Celsius and multiply by 1.8, and then add 32. The result will me the degree in Fahrenheit.
How can you reduce the temperature of water at 20 degree to 10 degree Celsius?
Put the water into the refrigerator. Or add some ice cubes to it.
Do you add a degree or subtract when you take temperature by mouth?
This is a common misconception, but you don't need to add or subtract anything. Normal Temperatures are 98.6 degrees orally, 99.6 degrees rectally, or 97.6 degrees axillary. It is normal for temperatures to vary up or down one degree and to run higher in the evening.
How do you convert the temperature 84.7 degree C to kelvin?
To convert deg C to Kelvin, simply add 273.15
What to do when a baby has a fever?
You can often tell just by placing your hand on the child's forehead. Or take its temperature with an underarm thermometer (underarm measurements are usually one or two degrees low, so add a degree or two). A baby does not have a fever unless its temperature is above 100 degrees F / 37.7 degrees C in the morning or over 101 degrees F / 38.2 degrees C in the evening. If the baby is less than 6 months, then call the doctor. If there is nothing else wrong with the child it probably will recover by itself. Fever is a sign that the body is fighting some illness.
