How can I make a thermometer show a higher temperature?

If the doctor isn't watching, you can shake the thermometer down to 36.6°C by flipping it and tapping it gently. But if the doctor is nearby, it's better to take two drops of iodine on sugar before the appointment.

Usually, as long as the thermometer is with you, the doctor doesn't leave the room, so—unfortunately.

rub armpits with salt

I'm begging you, no pepper, salt is enough

Back in childhood, it worked like a charm

I agree, I always do that))

I used to put it against the radiator and show it to my mom))

So what exactly should be done? Apply it to the armpits or take it internally?)

Ha! The radiator... that's so mainstream.

Holding the thermometer to a lamp (a desk lamp, for instance) works very well.

In five seconds, you'll get the desired temperature.

Stirring tea with the thermometer is also pretty effective—it'll quickly show the numbers you need too))

The main thing is not to let it jump close to forty!)

2 drops of iodine on sugar, and then what do you do with them?

Internally, of course!!!

What nonsense is this, that you can't tell the doctor you still feel unwell, had a fever at night, but brought it down with paracetamol to avoid suffering? I always do this, even when I'm sick without a fever, because I rarely get one, but that doesn't make it any easier...

Don't eat, don't sleep at night, come to the appointment in such a state, say that you had a fever in the evening and felt unwell, with weakness and body aches (and the fever usually does rise in the afternoon).

Rub the thermometer against your pant leg or sleeve. The friction will give you the desired temperature.)))

Rub yourself with salt, or put a bottle of hot water under your armpit.

But it's easier to just hand a box of candies to the doctor, and then you can be sick as long as you want.

Your text_here!!! Finally, some sensible thoughts.... instead of all that nonsense like sticking a thermometer up your butt, etc.)))

You've really annoyed the doctors with your chocolates!!!

I'm tired of your nitpicking, I don't even know how to politely write about bribes anymore. Bring whatever you want—hand-knitted socks, oil wells, it makes no difference.

I just didn't go on the scheduled day)) I'll go on Tuesday, I'll say I had a high temperature and slept all day))) where will they send me, I'll write it down.

Now with digital thermometers, you can't just rub them to adjust the reading, so how will you handle that in front of the doctor? Just have a straightforward talk with the doctor like a normal person. No need to come up with all sorts of nonsense.

Everything's fine. They closed everything for me as of today, backdated the entries. Grumbled a bit. And without boxes of chocolates or anything like that.

Played the country bumpkin))

And no absences.

There's dog poop, temperature 39+... I haven't checked) someone check it((

Damn, I need to get sick for like 4 days because we have this damn class miss, I don't feel like doing anything. She supposedly got sick herself on Friday, but as soon as Monday rolled around, she magically recovered.

You need to tap the top of the thermometer (just not the one with mercury) with something hard, like we used to give the thermometer a good whack in childhood.

Get well soon.

Thanks, really effective method))

But if it's an electronic thermometer, no matter how much you shake it or try to mess with it! You really need to raise the temperature!!!

doesn't help me

Can I use regular salt from a salt shaker?

Give the doctor a box of candies and a week off from school 100%.

I want to be sick for a week))*

really helps, thanks

You can pretend that your neck hurts, like you have myositis, and just stay in bed without getting up and all that.

Gently tap on it or keep it near a lamp.

Is that tasty or the opposite, bleeeeh?

What happens if you put a thermometer against a radiator????

How about an electronic thermometer then?

How long will it take for the temperature to change if you mix sugar and iodine?

How long does it take for the fever to appear after taking sugar with iodine??

Thanks) It helped)

What should I do if I knocked, but the temperature got stuck like this? It goes down on the left, but it's stuck on the right.

Never mind, no need, I've sorted it all out fine.

To get a temperature reading, you need to heat the water and carefully place a thermometer in a glass of hot water.

Guys, why are you doing all this? You're just harming your bodies with pencil lead and iodine with sugar. But if you're so determined to skip school or work, then take some office glue and apply it inside your nostrils, BUT DON'T OVERDO IT. And you'll be guaranteed to get sick.

15 drops of iodine

Place it under the hot water tap. And if you overdo it, then shake it off afterward.

Eating a pencil lead raises +37, verified :)

It's sweet-tasting iodine.

Of course, it's a bit off-topic, but still... here's how I do it. We'll need two thermometers: the first one is basically a regular one, and the second is a decoy. For instance, in the evening, I tell my parents I have a slight fever, and my mom says we'll check again in the morning. In the evening, we heat the decoy thermometer to the desired temperature—by warming it on a lamp, radiator, with tea, or in warm water in the bathroom—and go to bed with it, hiding it somewhere in the bed. In the morning, when they hand us the first thermometer, we very carefully swap it with the decoy one. The temperature is ready.

this is nonsense
