So my daughter was extremely hot all night. Can’t find my thermometer anywhere. She’s almost 3 and it’s hard to get her temp. I don’t like doing the anal temp, she won’t hold still for the armpit, and she doesn’t grasp the fact that she needs to close her mouth. So in your mind is the ear/head thermometer worth the money?
Avoid the ear one. Even in some clinics and hospitals the pediatricians avoid using them because children with fever can often have ear infections and here you are sticking a scope in there to hold for a temp without knowing. I have the one that you hold on the temple for 3-5 seconds and it gets an accurate digital reading.
I had to get an ear one last time my boy got sick, cus arm pit one was too far off do to chills and body temp being higher than real fever, due to body heating up to try to break fever
We have the forehead one, have had it since he was born. I love it. I would like to get an infrared one someday so I wouldn't even have to touch him.
