PRINCE GEORGE – A person’s body temperature indicates a lot about their health.
Many people are familiar with the two types of thermometers. The contact and the remote to measure body temperature.
Purchasing the right thermometer that’s best for your family can be confusing. A staple in many people’s medicine cabinets is a thermometer.
The thermometer is only brought out to measure body temperature. According to pharmacist Patrick Dinelle the oral thermometer is the most accurate.
Dinelle recommends checking temperatures when you feel ill as it’s a good indicator that you are sick and the effectiveness of a treatment is based on the body’s temperature.
If you are getting abnormally high temperatures it is best to contact your healthcare provider.
Health professionals recommend that body temperature should be measured and record regularly with a precision thermometer to better understand how the body is reacting to the illness.
