◆ Wipe and disinfect with alcohol before using the thermometer. Rinse with water or soapy water after use, and dry it for later use.

◆ When measuring temperature, freely move the thermometer, do not clamp the thermometer, or the child's fat is too thick, it will affect the accuracy of the measurement.

◆ When the ear temperature is measured, the baby has ear disease or excessive secretion of the external auditory canal, which will affect the measurement accuracy.

◆ Before using the mercury thermometer to measure the body temperature, restore the display to below 35 °C. If the mercury thermometer is accidentally broken and eaten, immediately feed a large amount of milk and send it to the hospital.
