What about thé readings ?

When you take a rectal temperature, what do you do with the readings ?

Many RT amateurs take their rectal temperature just for fun and don't care about the displayed results and won't even read them. Some people will have a quick look and quickly forger about it, especialy if their température seems to be in the normal range . Other will record their temperatures in a booklet or on their smartphone and produce some charts on their PC..

Some will read the results in near panic because the figures are a bit too high or too low. They will rush for an explaination on the net or phone their friend doctor.

So, what do you do when you remove thé thermometer from your partner's or your own rectum? What do you do about the figures you see ? Do you record them q? Do you discuss them with your partner or your doctor ?

I take my temp every morning at 6 am, i have been taking it since march 15 when this virus hit and it has always been between 98 and 99, if over 99 i watch for other symptoms.

I commit the readings to memory. I've been taking my rectal temp. for so many years, that I know what my normal baseline is. If I've been outdoors in hot weather, or am coming down with something, I notice the difference.
