Thermometer FAQs
What is the most accurate type of thermometer?
A digital probe thermometer used correctly (oral, underarm or rectal per guidance) is very accurate. Infrared forehead/ear models trade a little accuracy for speed and convenience.
What is a normal body temperature?
Around 36.5–37.5°C. A fever is generally considered 38°C or higher — follow medical advice.
Which thermometer is best for babies and children?
Infrared forehead or ear thermometers are popular for quick, low-fuss readings in children; follow the age guidance on the pack.
Are infrared (no-contact) thermometers accurate?
Used as directed and at the correct distance, they are suitable for screening; for a clinical decision, confirm with a probe thermometer if needed.
