My Go-To Hack for Quick Fever Checks

Ever tried to take someone’s temp and totally fumbled it? Been there. I used to think armpit readings were a joke, but they’re actually super handy for a quick fever check—if you do it right. 💡 Use a digital thermometer (skip the old-school glass ones—trust me, not worth the risk). ✅ Wait 20 minutes after a bath, workout, or being bundled up. Hot skin = bad reading. 🔔 Make sure the armpit is dry and the thermometer touches bare skin. No shirts in the way! ⚠️ Hold the arm snug over the thermometer and don’t peek until it beeps. If it slips, start over. If you get 99°F or higher, double-check with a more accurate method or call your doc. #HomeHealth #FeverCheck #LifeHacks #Health #Wellness
