Armpit (axillary): More of a technique than a type of thermometer, taking your temperature via your armpit isn't the most accurate option. According to Calame-Mars, your armpit temperature is typically a degree less than your actual temperature. Still, it can give you a general reading that will let you know if you are running a fever. Most babies and toddlers won't want to sit still and hold their arm in place to capture an accurate reading, so we suggest this method for a school-aged child. To ensure the most accurate temperature readings, we asked our parenting editors to abstain from eating or drinking (both hot and cold items) for at least 10 minutes before taking temperatures. In addition, we asked them to refrain from taking a hot shower or exercising for 30 minutes before temperature readings. Another option is a usually affordable and simple armpit thermometer; the NHS particularly recommends these for newborns as they’re user-friendly, comfortable and safe. Most of these types of thermometers can be used as both oral and armpit thermometers, and can even be used under the chin. Multi-use baby thermometers Never insert a sharp object into the scanner area or any other open surface on the thermometer because this will cause damage and affect functionality. Generally, a low fever in kids 3 months old and up is likely not serious if they’re playing, eating, acting, and looking normal, says Dr. Pitone. However, always call your pediatrician if you’re having doubts.
