Thermometers
A thermometer is a device that measures the body's temperature.
Normal body temperature varies depending on the person, age, activity, and time of day. The average normal body temperature is thought to be 98.6°F (37°C). According to some research, "normal" body temperature can range from 97°F (36.1°C) to 99°F (37.2°C).
A temperature of more than 100.4°F (38°C) usually indicates a fever caused by an infection or disease.
The temperature of the body changes during the day.
The ear, mouth, rectum, and armpit can all be used to take your body temperature. However, all of these are indirect techniques of measuring body temperature, which is not the same as core temperature. Rectum temperature measuring gives greater values than axillary temperature measurement. In general, rectal or oral temperature measures are more accurate than the other two.
Adults can choose from any of these four options, as long as the minor differences are considered. However, this is not the case for children. When it comes to small children, determining the best place to measure their body temperature is a little more challenging.
Insert the tip of a digital/disposable thermometer beneath the tongue. Place the thermometer to one side of your mouth and lock your lips tightly. Leave in place for 5 minutes, timed with a watch or a clock. If you use a digital thermometer, it has its own timer and will emit a sequence of beeps when it is finished. Gently remove the reading from the mouth. Clean the thermometer with cool water and soap, then rinse well before storing it.
Rectal measurement is frequently used on babies and children. First, apply a small amount of lubricant on the thermometer bulb, such as petroleum jelly (tip). Place the baby/child face down on your lap (or a bed). With one hand spreading the child's buttocks, gently insert the tip of a rectal thermometer about 0.5 to 1 inch (1.25 - 2.5 cm) into the anus with the other. Avoid burying it too deeply. Hold it in place with your buttocks pressed together. leave it there for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove from the anus and take the reading.<>p
Clean the thermometer with cool water and soap, then rinse well before storing it. And please note that, never use an oral thermometer to take a rectal temperature, and vice versa.
If you decide that taking a temperature in the armpit is the best option, position the thermometer's bulb in the centre of the armpit. Place your arm against your body. Take the reading while gently removing the device from the armpit. Before storing the thermometer, clean it with cool water and soap, and then rinse it.
Using a clean towel, wipe down the ear probe. Attach a disposable ear probe cover on the probe. Switch on the thermometer. Pull one of your earlobes upward and back. Gently press the tip against the eardrum. To display the temperature reading, press the button. Gently remove and discard the used probe cover.
Choosing the ideal thermometer for you might be difficult. Here's everything you need to know about the most commonly used thermometers.
To clean a thermometer, you'll need rubbing alcohol with at least 60% alcohol, which is most effective at eliminating germs. Then, before and after usage, clean and sterilize a digital thermometer as follows:
You can also wash the thermometer with soap and water, but be careful not to submerge the electronic components, as this could damage the instrument. You should also avoid cleaning a thermometer with hot water, since this could harm the sensor that reads the temperature.
Although many are designed to be used without coming into contact with skin, the device should be cleaned before and after use in case of contact. For cleaning recommendations specific to your model, consult the manufacturer's instructions. To clean your forehead thermometer, follow these simple steps:

Key Specifications
The Non-Contact IR Thermometer uses infrared technology to function without making contact with the user. This thermometer provides results in seconds while being used a few centimetres away from the person's body.
This thermometer is useful for detecting fever, which is a common symptom of COVID-19. The device is simple to operate and displays temperature rapidly. Simply point the device at the forehead from a distance of 5 cm (2 in) and read the temperature shown on the LCD screen.
Key Features :
The Omron Digital Tip Thermometer is a sleek, easy-to-carry alternative to traditional thermometers, with several additional benefits. The thermometer records with 0.1 degree increments only between the typical range of 32 degrees-42 degrees. The temperature is a three-digit value following the decimal that gives the temperature in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. It can be taken orally, rectally, or under the arm.
