HELPFUL GUIDELINES
Some helpful guidelines for best results when using the Vicks
Professional Thermometer:
Practice until you receive consistent readings
Call your doctor when your child has diarrhea, vomiting or changes in
appetite, lethargy (sluggishness) or is unusually sleepy.
It is important to know each individual’s “Normal” temperature when they are
well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple
readings when healthy to determine “Normal” temperature. A child’s normal
temperature can be as high as 99.9°F.
