Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but she sometimes shivers. What ear thermometer should be used for the baby’s fever?
Answer
Before testing, the thermometer should be stabilized under laboratory conditions (at (23 ± 2) ℃/((50 ± 20) %.)) for at least 30 minutes. If the manufacturer specifies a different stabilization time, it can be longer.
