Digital Thermometers

• Oral: These traditional thermometers are inserted under the tongue.
• Rectal: While less common, rectal thermometers provide accurate readings, especially for infants and young children.
• Axillary: Placed under the armpit, these thermometers are convenient but may not be as accurate as oral or rectal readings.

Contactless Thermometers:

• Forehead Thermometers: These non-contact thermometers measure temperature by sensing infrared radiation emitted from the forehead. They are quick and convenient, especially for infants and children.
• Temporal Artery Thermometers: These thermometers scan the temporal artery on the forehead to measure temperature. They are quick and convenient, especially for infants and children.

Multi-Functional Thermometers

These are versatile devices combine multiple temperature-taking methods, often including forehead, ear, and object temperature measurement. They offer convenience and accuracy, making them suitable for both adults and children.

Choosing the right thermometer

When selecting a thermometer, prioritise accuracy, especially for infants and children. Opt for user-friendly devices that are easy to operate, particularly when dealing with restless individuals. Additionally, choose hygienic thermometers that are easy to clean and disinfect to minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
