How to use digital thermometer for fever

Fever is a symptom of an illness but not an illness itself. Fever is the body’s way of reacting to help fight the illness. Your child’s discomfort and the illness causing the fever is often more of a concern than the high-temperature reading. Body temperature is accurately measured with a thermometer. Digital thermometers are safer than glass thermometers because these do not contain mercury.

Normal body temperature range is 98.6 degrees F to 100 degrees F. Your child’s temperature can change with activity, eating, the amount of clothing he wears, or the time of day. There are three ways to take a temperature:

• by rectum
• by mouth (oral)
• by underarm

What kind of thermometer is used to take a temperature?

A digital thermometer is used to take a temperature. It is a small hand-held device with a “window” showing your temperature in numbers. There are many kinds of digital thermometers. Most digital thermometers are easy to use and measure body temperature within seconds. Carefully read the instructions before using your digital thermometer. Digital thermometers can be bought at grocery, drug, or medical supply stores.

How to Use Ihealth Thermometer

• Reset the thermometer by pressing the reset button
• Place the thermometer 1 inch from the forehead

Always follow manufacturers’ instructions to get the most accurate results.

Most accurate way to take temperature in adults

Measuring Body Temperature: Change in body temperature is one of the most important indicators of illness. It is important that accurate temperatures be taken. Even though the digital thermometer is used in a similar manner to the glass thermometer, instructions for use of this thermometer must be followed closely, and the person taking the temperature must understand body temperature.

Body Temperature: A persons’ body temperature is usually several tenths to one full degree lower in the morning than in the late afternoon. Therefore, if your temperature in the morning is 97.9°F (36.6°C), it could be 98.4°F (36.9°C) or more in the late afternoon and still be normal. To determine what your normal body temperature is, you should take your temperature both in the early morning and late afternoon over several days.

Children have the same normal temperature range as adults: Fever bor both children and adults is typically defined as an oral temperature higher than 99.5°F (37.5°C). Exercise, excessive clothing, hot bath, hot weather, and warm food and drink can cause mild elevations of up to 100.4°F (38°C) in oral temperature. If you suspect one of these to be the cause of an elevated reading, eliminate the possible cause and retake the temperature in half an hour.
