FEVER THERMOMETER

The NUK Baby Thermometer 2-in-1 uses an infra-red sensor to measure body temperature
at the eardrum membrane in the ear canal or at the skin on the temple.
Please note that when taking the temperature several times in succession from the same
ear, the results may fluctuate by up to half a degree. These results may fluctuate to an even
greater extent should you change to the other ear. In the event of an ear infection, damage
A "normal" temperature is around 36.5 to 37.0°C
(97.7 – 98.6°F). The highest temperature will be read in the
early evening. The values differ according to where the
temperature was taken (mouth, armpit, anus, ear, temple).
Fever may result from colds, other illnesses such as
respiratory infections, some intestinal infections,
hyperthyroidism or the presence of tumours.
Sweating, shivering or chills are indications of an increased
body temperature.
When fever starts, it may have a negative effect on the body,
depending on age, the constitution and the current well-being
of the person. The use of the appliance doesn't replace the
investigations of the doctor. Please inform about the critical
values and consult a doctor if these are exceeded.
