You add a degree when taken axillary (under the arm) and subtract a degree when taken rectally. You do not have to do anything if you are taking it orally.

No, don't add any degrees, but just make sure you shake the thermometer down to at least 95.9 before you begin...

your mouth or rectal are the most accurate
it is the arm pit or groin where you have to adjust the reading
