A member asked:
Accurate way to take a temp? when i feel warm i take it on my forehead & shows at least 99.3, even on cloudy day! under the tongue shows 97.9!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rectal: Then, oral (under the tongue), ear (tympanic thermometer), or underarm. Forehead thermometers are not very accurate.
