Otherwise, you can measure the temperature by placing the digital thermometer in the patient’s mouth. However, you will need to be vigilant when measuring a child’s temperature. In fact, the child should not be injured in the event of a false movement. Finally, it is possible to take the temperature by placing the thermometer under the armpits, which allows to ensure safety and comfort when taking the measurement, as well as to facilitate the taking of the temperature.

Care must be taken to ensure that the person’s ear is not cluttered and that the device is properly positioned. To do this, it is recommended to pull the ear up to facilitate placement of the device.

 

You can buy a infrared thermometer, which is more hygienic and easier to use. In fact, to use it, it is enough to approach the patient’s forehead. It is also called a frontal thermometer.
