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 many degrees do you add when taking a temperature by ear?

When taking a temperature by ear with an ear thermometer, typically you should add around 1 degree Fahrenheit (or 0.5 degrees Celsius) to the reading to get a more accurate reflection of the body's core temperature. This adjustment is necessary because ear temperatures can be slightly lower than core body temperature.


Do you add a degree of temp when taking in ear?

Yes, when taking an ear temperature with an infrared thermometer, you typically add a degree Fahrenheit to the reading to account for the difference between ear and core body temperature. This adjustment helps provide a more accurate reflection of the body's true temperature. However, it's important to follow the specific guidelines provided with the thermometer, as recommendations may vary by device.

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.
