Why the thermometer is kept lower than the tongue?
Answers:
there's something call heat pocket under the tongue.... so, thermometer is kept under the tongue..... it is also kept under-arm....
It's a convenient place, surrounded on all sides with tissue. If you stuck it above the tongue, half would be exposed to nouns, which would make it cooler and less reflective of actual body temperature.
Thermometer is kept under the tongue and also underarm . Because both of these places are close to arteries/veins and thusly have a temperature extremely close to your internal body heat.
