Babies can sit or lie down to measure. Lift the baby's arm and put the thermometer tube under the baby's armpit.
Let the thermometer stick to the armpit, put down the baby's arm and hold the thermometer tightly, usually for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, take out the thermometer from the baby's armpit, turn to the side where the value can be read, and read the value. If the temperature is higher than 37.5 degrees, it can be judged that the baby has a fever.

Precautions for measuring body temperature If the baby has a fever after noon, it needs to be measured again at night, and it needs to be measured again when getting up the next morning, and it needs to be measured many times to know the baby's fever in time to avoid the illness getting worse.
Every measurement should be recorded and accurately reported to the doctor when the doctor sees a doctor, so that the doctor can accurately judge the condition and carry out treatment.
After the thermometer is measured, it is best to disinfect with alcohol (the degree should be 75% alcohol), which can eliminate germs and avoid carrying germs in the next measurement.
