Normal body temperature is the basic standard of health, and parents also attach great importance to their babies' body temperature. There are many products on the market for measuring babies' body temperature, but because there are too many optional products, parents may not know which one is the best for their babies when choosing products.
Electronic thermometer
There are two types of electronic thermometers: contact thermometers and non-contact thermometers. Taking contact thermometers as an example, they can measure the oral temperature, axillary temperature, and anal temperature of infants. Suitable for children aged 7 to 12 years old. Due to the significant impact of batteries on the measurement accuracy of electronic thermometers, multiple measurements are required. Children in this age group are already rational and can cooperate with their parents to complete multiple temperature measurements, while the coordination between infants and young children is very low.
Erwen gun
The forehead thermometer can only measure the forehead and is suitable for use in newborns. For infants of other age groups, if they have a fever, they will stick antipyretic stickers on their forehead. Measuring with a forehead thermometer is definitely inaccurate, and it is also inaccurate when there is a large temperature difference in winter. So the forehead temperature gun should be used with caution.
Ear temperature gun
Ear thermometers can only be measured in the ear. It is also necessary to keep the probe and ear canal in a closed space. Babies and young children rarely cooperate. Suitable for cooperative children to use. Before measurement, it is necessary to clean the earwax. Infants and young children can measure their body temperature by placing it on their abdomen, while children and adults can measure their body temperature by placing it under their armpits.
