Is the baby thermometer accurate in ear temperature or forehead temperature?

Every time in the next season's weather, the temperature difference is relatively large, and infants are very easy to get sick. Therefore, it is necessary to have a baby thermometer at home, so that parents can find the abnormality of their children at the first time. So is the baby thermometer accurate in ear temperature or forehead?

Whether the ear temperature of the baby thermometer is accurate or the forehead temperature is indeed more accurate than the forehead temperature, but in daily parenting life, many mothers will encounter such a situation. When the ear thermometer is inserted in the baby's ear, the baby will cry, which will affect the measurement. It is much more convenient to measure the baby's forehead temperature. But in view of the accuracy of measuring the forehead temperature, how to measure the baby's temperature?

At present, there are many kinds of thermometers on the market, such as ear thermometer, electronic thermometer, mercury thermometer and forehead thermometer. When measuring temperature, no matter what kind of thermometer is used, it is necessary to form a closed small space at the measuring part. If you measure the temperature under the armpit, you need to put the thermometer under the baby's armpit and let the baby clamp it. If you use an ear thermometer, be sure to keep the external auditory canal completely closed.

No matter what kind of thermometer is used, it is mainly to know the approximate temperature of the baby so as to make corresponding countermeasures. So don't be obsessed with whether the thermometer reading is accurate. Even if you go to the hospital, you don't have to worry about telling the doctor whether the value is accurate. Just tell the doctor what kind of thermometer to use and what the temperature is. Otherwise it will affect the doctor's correct judgment.

With the development of science and technology, electronic thermometers are becoming more and more common in our daily life. So how to use the electronic thermometer? Electronic thermometer can measure ear temperature and forehead temperature. Let's talk about the ear temperature measurement method of electronic thermometer first. Take off the headgear, press the scan key to start, put the measuring probe into the infant's ear canal, press the scan once, hear a "wow", and then watch the display results.

The forehead temperature measurement method of electronic thermometer is opposite to the ear temperature measurement method. Cover the head cover of the thermometer, press the scan key to start, put the measuring probe flat at one end of the baby's temple, press and hold the scan key, and move along the forehead to the other end of the temple. After hearing a "wow", the measurement is completed. After the measurement is completed, just look at the screen temperature index. Generally speaking, it is recommended to measure the ear temperature, and be careful not to let the baby move when measuring, so as not to hurt the baby.

Infrared thermometers are rarely used, because there are certain restrictions on the use of infrared thermometers, so they are not as practical as electronic thermometers. Infrared thermometer is also called infrared ear thermometer. Just aim the infrared probe at one ear of the baby and start the button to complete the measurement. Just look at the screen temperature index after the measurement. Note that the infrared thermometer should be cleaned with alcohol immediately after use to ensure the accuracy of the next measurement.
