if the first measured temperature is above 38°C), you can then use the
digital flexible-tip thermometer to take an axial (underarm) or a rectal
(anal) measurement.
Note: Oral measurements are usually 0.5 to 1°C lower than the actual body
temperature.
Childrens' temperature
The temperature of a child is normally between 36.5 and 37.5°C.
However, you have to keep in mind that a child's temperature varies
depending on age, activity, time of day, etc. Also remember that some
illnesses do not have high temperature as a symptom.Temperature
measurement should not be a substitute for consulting your physician.
When reporting your child's temperature to a professional, state the
measurement method.
Soother thermometer
The most convenient way to measure your baby's temperature is to use
the soother thermometer. This is also the most comfortable method for
the baby.
Do not use the soother thermometer for 0 minutes after the baby
has had hot or cold drinks, as this causes an inaccurate measurement.
Never use the soother thermometer as a regular soother.
1 Check if the measurement unit of the soother thermometer is
firmly attached to the soother (i.e. turned completely to the closed
lock position).
If the measurement unit is not firmly attached to the soother, the
measurement may be inaccurate and the measurement unit
may become a suffocation hazard.
 Place the soother in the baby's mouth for approx. 3 minutes to let
the thermometer warm up.
If you do not do this, the measured temperature may be inaccurate.
 Press the on/off button I to switch on the thermometer.
