How Do You Take Your Temperature?
Taking your temperature can be done in five different ways: orally, inside the ear canal, using the temporal artery, in your armpit, or rectally. In this section, we’ll review how to take your temperature the first four ways.2
First, no matter, which type of thermometer you use, make sure you follow these steps.
Read the thermometer instructions
Never use the same thermometer for oral and rectal temperatures
Get two different thermometers and label them as such
Wait at least 6 hours after taking medications that can lower temperatures (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin) before taking your temperature so you can get an accurate read
To take your temperature with an oral thermometer, follow these steps:
Wait 30 minutes after you’ve had anything to eaten or drink
Turn the digital thermometer on
Place the thermometer tip under your tongue
Close your mouth around the thermometer for the directed time or until you hear the thermometer beep
Remove the thermometer and read the number
To take your temperature with an ear thermometer, follow these steps:
Turn on the digital thermometer
Gently place it in your ear canal no further than indicated by the instructions
Hold the thermometer firmly in place until it beeps
To take your temperature with a temporal artery thermometer, follow these steps:
Gently sweep it across your forehead and read the number
To take your temperature with a digital thermometer in your armpit, follow these steps:
Place the thermometer under your armpit
Make sure your thermometer is touching skin and not clothing
Hold the thermometer tightly in place until it beeps
Beware that underarm readings will be about a degree lower than those taken in the mouth.
The CDC considers a person to have a fever when he or she has a temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.3 A low-grade fever occurs when your temperature is between 100.4- and 102.2-degrees Fahrenheit.4
A fever is a body’s natural response to infection. Whether it’s bacterial or viral, your body will spike a fever when it senses some kind of foreign invader. The hypothalamus in the brain controls the body’s temperature and raises it as a defense mechanism against whatever is invading the body as foreign particles can’t survive above 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.5
How to Treat Fevers at Home
If you take your temperature and have a fever, it’s possible to treat it at home depending on your other symptoms. Remember, running a fever is often your body’s response to fighting infections, but it can also result from getting sunburned or getting immunizations.
Right now, one of the most common reasons to get a fever is due to a COVID-19 infection or a COVID-19 vaccine. In many cases, you can treat these fevers at home without seeking medical care. Here’s how you can do so.6
To treat a fever at home, follow these steps:
Take your temperature. If your temperature runs 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, then you have a fever.
Stay and bed and let your body rest.
Keep your body hydrated using water, iced tea, or diluted juice. This will help your body replenish the fluids it loses through sweating. If you find that you have trouble keeping fluids down because vomiting is another symptom, then try sucking on ice chips.
Take over-the-counter medications like acetaminophen and ibuprofen to reduce your fever. Tylenol (acetaminophen), Advil (ibuprofen), and Motrin (ibuprofen) are all safe to take for COVID-19 symptoms as long as you follow the recommended dosage. Learn more about taking Tylenol, and ibuprofen together. You should avoid taking these products if you have a conflicting condition that puts you at risk.7
Stay cool. Remove extra layers of clothing and blankets unless you have chills.
Take lukewarm baths or use cold compresses to bring your body temperature down. Avoid using ice or alcohol baths which can be dangerous.
When to Seek Medical Help for a Fever
For children, call your child’s doctor if:
Your child is listless, irritable, or vomits repeatedly
Your child has a fever after being left in a hot car
This requires immediate medical attention
Your child has a fever lasting longer than three days
Your child appears listless or has poor eye contact
For adults, call your doctor if:
Your temperature is 103-degree Fahrenheit or higher
You experience any of these symptoms in addition to your fever
Unusual (and worsening) skin rash
Mental confusion o Persistent vomiting
