A member asked:

Doctor, hat is the normal temperature for teenager when it is taken in the armpit? in degrees celsius.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

36.8-37.1: Under the armpit if held long enough can run from 36.8 to 37.1 the temp under the arm is usually slightly lower that rectal oral or forehead (i didn't mention ear because ear is very unreliable) but above 37.1 you should check by one of the other means.
