The best time to take temperature is right when you wake up. This is because your body has not been doing anything that might raise temperature yet.
It usually takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute to get an accurate oral temperature reading using a digital thermometer. Be sure to keep your mouth closed during the measurement for the most accurate results.
Oral method: placing a thermometer under the tongue. Axillary method: placing a thermometer in the armpit. Tympanic method: using an ear thermometer to measure temperature in the ear canal. Rectal method: inserting a thermometer into the rectum for a core body temperature reading.
The temperature under the arm, also known as axillary temperature, is typically slightly lower than oral temperature, averaging around 97.6°F to 99.6°F. It is a common method to check for fever, but may not be as accurate as other methods like oral or rectal temperature.
This depends on many factors: temperature, stirring, granulation.
This depends on the temperature and the aeration of the bathroom.
3 MINS
At least five minutes (same as if you were to eat or drink something then take an oral temperature reading).
It usually takes around 30 seconds to 1 minute to get an accurate oral temperature reading using a digital thermometer. Be sure to keep your mouth closed during the measurement for the most accurate results.
It's typically recommended to wait at least 15-30 minutes after drinking liquids before taking an oral temperature measurement. This allows your mouth temperature to stabilize and provide a more accurate reading.

Oral thermometer
No.The oral temperature (under the tongue) is a degree lower than central. The newer temporal artery thermometers also take a central temperature.
Take your temperature at the same time every day for a week. Use an oral thermometer. Do not test right after you've had anything to drink--hot or cold drinks can temporarily change the oral temp.
digital thermometer is the best way to take temperature of newbornaxillary temperature taking has advantage over rectal(rectal temperature taking is contraindication in infant less than one month or premature)oral temperature(oral temperature is contraindicated for child less than 2 year old) and tympanic tempereture(tympanic temperature is contraindicated in draining ear or premature infant of small ear canal).
An axillary temperature is typically 0.5°F (0.3°C) lower than an oral temperature. Therefore, an axillary temperature taken as 98.6°F would be roughly equivalent to an oral temperature of 99.1°F.
Immediately, as long as you take it rectally.
