Measure the axillary temperature should be clamped for at least 5 minutes. The specific method of axillary temperature measurement is to first dry the armpit, shake the mercury column of the thermometer to below 35 degrees Celsius, clip the mercury end of the thermometer to the top of the armpit, clench it for at least more than 5 minutes, and then take out the reading. The normal axillary temperature is between 36-37.3 degrees Celsius, more than 37.3 degrees Celsius is fever, between 37.3-38 degrees Celsius is low fever, between 38-39 degrees Celsius is moderate fever, between 39-41 degrees Celsius is high fever, and more than 41 degrees Celsius is super fever. Therefore, it is important to master the correct method of axillary temperature measurement, and then determine the presence and degree of fever based on the temperature reading, so that the appropriate treatment can be given.
