SAFETY TIPS
• Carefully read the instructions that come with your thermometer and be sure to clean the tip of the thermometer with rubbing alcohol or soap and water following each use.
• A rectal temperature will give the most accurate reading in children under 3. If you plan to use a digital thermometer to take a rectal temperature consider keeping a separate one on hand for oral use. Label each thermometer, and be sure not to use the same thermometer in both places.
• Never leave your child unattended while taking their temperature!
