How To Take A Temperature
Take a Temperature. Diagnose illness early by checking your body temperature. Recommended thermometers are now digital- use our guide to get an accurate reading.
The temperature is most commonly measured by placing the thermometer under and to one side of the tongue, keeping the lips tightly closed around it. Leave it in place for the time specified in the instructions.
Attach the disposable cover to the probe, then turn the thermometer on. Pull the earlobe up and back. Center the probe tip in the ear and push gently inward toward the eardrum. Press the start button to display the temperature reading.
Hold it at either end and press against the middle of the forehead for the specified time, making sure the skin is dry. Coloured boxes on the strip will illuminate to indicate temperature.

In Physical Examination and Health Assessment by Carolyn Jarvis, which is the main textbook used by most Faculties of Nursing in Canada, normal temperature falls anywhere between 35.8 and 37.3 degrees Celsius.
no judging though.. it's just that in my country it's a bit different.. so yh thax for help!=]
did he say Centigrate? It's supposed to be Celcius.. and normal temp. is 36.6 Celcius..
actually normal temp also depends upon the part of the body you used to measure ur temp, be it axillary, oral, rectal or tympanic, but 37 degrees celsius is widely accepted. Thank you for the info.
I have a fever...and the only prescription is more COWBELL!
Wrong. ~36 degrees of Celsius is the normal temperature.
