Some Helpful Guidelines For Best Results
When Using the Forehead Thermometer

• 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 or as low as 97.0°F. Re-measure with a
standard digital thermometer for confirmation,
especially on infants (It is recommended use a
digital thermometer rectally on infants and on
sleeping infants if there is a question about the
measurement. Be sure to note this unit reads
1°F lower than a rectal digital measurement).
