If you are uncertain about in- terpreting the results or if the values are abnormal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, heavy sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
