Having a reliable thermometer at home can be very helpful to check body temperature giving you essential information about important next steps for care.
There are many types of contact and contact-free thermometers to choose from including digital thermometers, forehead thermometers (temporal), plastic strip thermometers, non-contact infrared thermometers and ear thermometers (tympanic). The ages of your patient, as well as personal preference, can help you determine which types to buy.
Like any other device, it’s important to understand how your thermometer works. Not every type works the same way or is designed to provide the same temperature readings.
