Take your temperature with a Celsius thermometer when you get up in the morning, in the early evening (around 6-8 pm), and any time you feel warm or unwell.
Call the nurse or doctor if your temperature is higher than 38.0°C.
Do not take your temperature right after eating or drinking. This may not give an accurate reading.
When taking your temperature, place the thermometer in your mouth, under the tongue, back by the molars. Keep your lips closed and breathe through your nose.
Keep the thermometer clean by rinsing with warm soapy water and drying it, or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
