Att. Dr Zakia The thermometer is digital, and for oral use. (I don't have the option to directly answer your question)
Jan 17, 2016

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Make sure you're using the thermometer properly be placing it underneath your tongue and closing your mouth tight enough around it so that air from outside does not leak into your oral cavity. And remember that oral temperature is not the most accurate: we usually add 1 degree to estimate the real body temperature when we use oral thermometers. As long as you're healthy and have no symptoms, this measurement should not be worrisome.
