Taking a Temperature Body heat is measured by taking a temperature with a thermometer. An increase in temperature, called a fever, may be a sign of infection. The common scale used to measure body temperature in the United States is degrees Fahrenheit (F). Other countries use degrees Centigrade (C). Temperature is measured using a thermometer orally, by placing it in the mouth, or axillary, by placing it under the arm in the armpit. Take a baby’s temperature under the arm unless directed otherwise by the doctor. Buy a digital thermometer at your local grocery or drug store. Ask for help to find them in the store.
