To determine if your oral thermometer is accurate, you can test it against a known reliable thermometer by measuring the temperature of the same person under similar conditions and comparing the readings. Additionally, you can check the thermometer's calibration using a water bath set to a known temperature, such as ice water (32°F or 0°C) or boiling water (212°F or 100°C at sea level), to see if it provides consistent and correct readings.
