Is a rectal thermometer reading of 101 degrees equal to an oral thermometer reading of 101degrees?
No, a rectal thermometer reading is typically about 0.5 to 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than an oral thermometer reading. So a rectal thermometer reading of 101 degrees would roughly correspond to an oral thermometer reading of 100-100.5 degrees. It's important to use the same type of thermometer for consistent readings.
What is the difference between an oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer?
The tastes differ. An oral thermometer has a longer slender end that's inserted (into the mouth), compared to a rectal thermometer that has a short bulbous end inserted (into the rectum). The bulb reduces the chance of tearing the rectal wall, especially in infants. Some digital models have a setting for rectal vs. oral on the unit. The rectal temperature is known to be a little warmer and more accurate to body temperature. If you still have a glass and mercury thermometer, be aware that mercury is a deadly toxin, and consider replacing the thermometer with a digital model.
