What axillary temperature is a fever?

My grandmother always said armpit temperature is a good first check. Generally, if it's above 37.5°C or 99.5°F, it's considered a fever. But always remember, for proper medical advice and treatment, consult with your doctor. They know best, no?

Dude, if your armpit temp is like, above 37.5°C (99.5°F), then it's probably a fever. My mom always tells me that. It's not as accurate as oral but it's a quick check, especially if you're feeling kinda off.

An axillary temperature (armpit) typically registers as a fever if it's 37.5°C (99.5°F) or above. It's a common method, but for the most accurate and definitive diagnosis, especially if there are other concerning symptoms, professional medical consultation is always recommended.

I used to get confused with this too! For armpit temperature, if it's 37.5°C (99.5°F) or higher, it's usually considered a fever. It's a convenient way to check, especially for kids, but sometimes it can be slightly less accurate than oral readings. Just keep an eye on other symptoms too.

Beta, in our time, we just felt the forehead. But now with thermometers, they say armpit temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius (99.5 degrees Fahrenheit) is a fever. Don't worry too much, just keep an eye, rest well, and if it's too high, see the doctor. It often passes quickly.
