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.

Do you subtract a degree from rectal temperature?

No. You only add a degree when taking a axial (under the arm) temp. This is because the axial temp is taken externally, so it only gives a close approximation of the body's internal temperature. Since oral temps are taken from inside the mouth, they give you the accurate internal body temperature without having to add anything.


Do you add a degree when taking temp under arm?

Yes, when taking a temperature under the arm (axillary), it is generally recommended to add about 1 degree Fahrenheit (or about 0.5 degrees Celsius) to account for the difference compared to oral or rectal measurements. This adjustment helps provide a more accurate representation of the body's core temperature. However, it's important to follow specific guidelines provided with your thermometer for the best results.
