QUESTIONS REGARDING BODY TEMPERATURE 4.0 Questions regarding aural (ear) temperature 4.1 What is aural temperature? The body temperature relates to the internal temperature of the body (core temperature). Because of this, the inner ear area can accurately reflect fluctuations in body temperature. 4.2 How is aural temperature measured correctly? Infants under one year old: Gently pull the ear diagonally backwards, in order to align the ear canal straight, and insert the measuring probe.
QUESTIONS REGARDING BODY TEMPERATURE body temperature measurements. Normally, rectally measured body temperatures will be 0.3°C higher than body temperatures taken orally, while this area in turn gives values 0.3°C higher than those taken from readings in the armpit. In order to establish your personal normal body temperature, and obtain readings for family members, too, you can take body temperature readings at differing times of the day, over the course of 3 or 4...
