A very accurate ear thermometer for quick measurements in between

You have already heard a lot about so ear thermometer, which is why we hesitated long with the purchase. Not least by pointing many users that the Ohrhtermometer for children under 6 months not suitable. And be warned so that they are absolutely right!

Our daughter is now 15 months and as of this thermometer in the Amazon Lightning Deals showed up before Christmas, we struck. Since we had a lot of opportunities (whether kindergarten with all its Kinderbazillen Thanks!) To test the thermometer and are very impressed. The difference between the ear thermometer and a conventional thermometer was previously a maximum of 0.1 degrees! The measurement is completed within two or three seconds, as long as even keeps our Zappelphillipine by!

At first I was surprised that I got different results when I took the temperature in both ears. I read my way through some Internet forums and instructions of manufacturers and have now learned: We must not skimp when measuring. The tip of the thermometer (recognizable by the white plastic) must be straight and be fully inserted into the ear canal.

Of course there are the exceptions that too much earwax or otitis media can falsify the result. When I got a result that did not seem plausible to me, I sat at the next diaper change just the normal thermometer, then mostly knew already, which way the infection goes straight. Measure from the estimated ten times came before twice.

The thermometer is a reliable * additional * the traditional method for us. In children, the lie still no longer exists in the vocabulary, you can save between the fast measurement a lot of stress. But as with so many other things, common sense should not shut it.
