When using a digital thermometer under the arm (axillary), it typically needs to be left in place for about 5 to 10 minutes for an accurate reading. Ensure the thermometer is positioned correctly and the armpit is dry, as moisture can affect the reading. For the most precise results, consider using an oral or rectal thermometer, as axillary readings can be less reliable.
