Do you add a degree when taking a newborns temperature under the arm?
My pediatrician didn’t tell me this but said a fever is 99 or 37.2.
I take her temp under the arm with a digital thermometer which is always around 36.4.
I’ve read online that you add a degree which would mean she always has a fever!
I’m confused by this.
Do you raise it by one or is it accurate under the arm?
