Electronic digital thermometer

This device measures the temperature in seconds. It is safe and accurate. It is especially good for children. Negative moment – such a thermometer should fit very tightly to the body.

Soother-thermometer

Such modern equipment is indispensable for families with babies. You can measure the temperature of the baby’s body without making any special effort. The main thing is that the child does not spit out a pacifier.

Indicator strips

Such testers are applied to the forehead. After a few seconds, the indicator shows if the person has a fever. These plates are not very convenient because their results are generalized: the norm, the lowered or elevated temperature (without specifying a specific figure).
