In the case of several successive measurements, slightly
varying values are obtained within the range of the measuring
error tolerance, as a rule.
Ensure you measure body temperature regularly to determine
normal ear or forehead temperature levels and then use those
temperatures as a basis against which to compare measure-
ments obtained when you suspect a fever. Note that body
temperature is also influenced by ambient temperature, age,
stress, sleep duration, hormones, and physical activity.
The ear or forehead temperature measurement determines
core body temperature via the infrared radiation emitted by
the body. Even when temperature measurement is carried out
correctly, the reading can vary slightly from a rectal, oral or
axillary temperature measurement using a digital thermome-
ter.
