How to accurately measure the baby's temperature?

The correct way to measure the baby's temperature is as follows:

1. Measure the ear temperature.

First of all, we should lower the reading of the thermometer below 35℃, open the external auditory canal of infants, that is, lift and pull back the ear, put the thermometer in the ear, measure for 5 minutes, and take out the reading of the thermometer.

Measure underarm temperature

Before measuring the body temperature, parents need to throw the thermometer reading below 35℃, then lift the child's arm, open the armpit, put the thermometer under the armpit, and let the baby's arm hold the thermometer. After measuring for 5 minutes, take out the thermometer and read the value.

Measure anal temperature

Anal temperature measurement is closer to body temperature. When the thermometer reading is lower than 35℃, the thermometer should be disinfected. It is necessary to let the baby lie on his side and try to keep his left side. The baby's knees should be curled and biased towards the legs, which is conducive to the insertion of the thermometer. The thermometer needs to be inserted slowly along the anus, usually about 2cm. After 5 minutes, the thermometer can be taken out for reading.

Measuring oral temperature

The oral temperature is also close to the body temperature, which is more accurate. After the thermometer is disinfected, throw the thermometer reading below 35℃, guide the baby to open his mouth, put the mercury end of the thermometer under his tongue, and take out the thermometer and read the reading after 5 minutes.

It is more accurate to measure armpits. It is popular to stick smart thermometers under children's armpits. For example, it is round, which is convenient to check the child's body temperature at any time on the mobile APP.
