Which one should I follow? Ear thermometer says 38.4 C but armpit thermometer says 37 C

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..
