hey carla, i tried both the ear as well as the armpit thermometer for my kids, and the doctor says it is best to go with the reading of the ear one as it is more accurate. this could be because sometimes, we end up moving our arm without realizing it, and that could cause a change in the reading. take care dear..
Read moreI always follow ear thermometer. Armpit can be due to many other factors also. Ear is the most accurate temperature
Ear Thermometer is more accurate as per our pedia so we're not using the traditional (armpit) one anymore.
