OK..... I’m thinking 100.4 is about the same as 100 orally. Anyone know?

100.4 temporal temp would be about 101 orally

I’m so bad at this.....99 would be 99.6? Add .6. He has 99 now and sleeping fretfully.

Medical research hasn't determined an exact correlation between oral, rectal, ear, armpit, and forehead temperature measurements. Generally, the correlation of temperature results are as follows:
The average normal oral temperature is 98.6°F (37°C).
*A rectal temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature.
*An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) higher than an oral temperature.
*An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
*A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
