To Measure The Baby's Temperature, How To Choose An Infrared Thermometer?

Forehead thermometer
The forehead thermometer is very convenient to use. Just swipe it against the forehead. It can be measured even if the baby is not fully cooperative. It is suitable for babies under 6 months. However, since the forehead thermometer measures the temperature of the skin surface, it will be greatly affected by the external environment, and the accuracy will be slightly worse.
Precautions for use:
1. Please read the instructions carefully before measuring, and the forehead should be kept dry, and the hair should not cover the forehead. (Please measure in an environment of 10°C-40°C) to ensure the accuracy of the measurement.
2. Protect the sensor lens and clean it in due course. If the temperature of the switching environment changes too much, it is necessary to place the measuring instrument in the environment to be measured for 20 minutes, and then use it after it has stabilized and adapted to the ambient temperature, so that more accurate values can be measured.
ear thermometer
The ear thermometer measures the temperature based on the infrared heat waves released by the eardrum, which is more accurate than the forehead thermometer. If the baby is already 6 months old, choose an ear thermometer decisively! Because the ear thermometer is not only accurate, but also very fast and convenient. It can be gently inserted into the baby's ear, and the temperature will be released in 3 seconds, and the baby will not feel uncomfortable.
Precautions for use:
1. Do not measure the same ear frequently in a short period of time, because friction and hand temperature will cause errors in the results. The temperature measured by the left and right ears is also different, so the same ear is measured at a fixed time.
2. When lying on the side, the ear temperature of the ear that is pressed will be higher, and the other ear needs to be measured.
3. Avoid measuring after exercise or activities that can raise body temperature.
4. Keep the ear canal clean before measuring.
If the baby is afraid of being inaccurate with the forehead temperature gun, you can buy a thermometer for the baby to measure both the forehead and the ear. If the forehead temperature measurement has a fever, you can use the ear temperature to confirm it.
