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.
