Answer:
Orally. Temperature can be taken by mouth using either the classic glass thermometer, or digital thermometers that use an electronic probe to measure body temperature.
Rectally. Temperatures taken rectally (using a glass or digital thermometer) tend to be 0.5°F to 0.7°F higher than when taken by mouth. This is more common in babies because their body doesn't regulate temperature the way an older child or adult's body does.
Armpit (axillary). Temperatures can be taken under the arm using a glass or digital thermometer. Temperatures taken by this route tend to be 0.3°F to 0.4°F lower than those temperatures taken by mouth.
By ear. A special thermometer can quickly measure the temperature of the eardrum, which reflects the body's core temperature (the temperature of the internal organs).
By skin. A special thermometer can quickly measure the temperature of the skin on the forehead.
Internally. This method is common in people who are critically ill in an intensive care unit. The temperature can be measured by probes that are placed in the esophagus, heart, or bladder.
