A member asked:
When i do under arm temperature do i have to do +1 or if it shows 98 stay the same?

Add 1+ judgement: When you measure temperature under the arm it is called ancillary temperature. You add one. However use judgement for measuring temp. If you feel malaise and unwell then expect the axillary temp to be elevated. There are more accurate temp settings like temporal artery and auditory canal. Be well.
