Unfortunately my boys get sick and when they are sick they are crabby and don’t want to be touched. I don’t know how my mom used those Mercury thermometers with us as kids, as they took forever and were so fragile. Now though with today’s technology, taking your child’s temperature has never been easier! The Exergen TemporalScanner is a thermometer that takes just seconds to read a temperature and is used by just gently gliding it against your child’s forehead.
I love this thermometer! I admit I was skeptical at first because I thought it seemed to good to be true but I did test it against two other thermometers and got the same reading. I even used it on my son when he was sleeping and it didn’t wake him up!
So how does this thing work is the first question I had? Well, it gauges body temperature by capturing the naturally emitted heat from skin over the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead. The temporal artery is directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery. Tests have shown that the reading is accurate to within +0.2 farenheight, which is actually a much more accurate reading than take a temperature by oral, rectal, ear or under the arm. It is a durable and easy to grasp Digital Thermometer, has only one button, a high-contrast LCD temperature display and runs on one 9-volt battery (included). It also meets and exceeds all regulatory requirements including FDA, ASTM, and UL. It is even better for the environment as it uses infrared sensor technology so there is no mercury or probe covers to purchase for each use.
Overall, I think this is a great Thermometer for all ages, I use it on my boys as well as my husband and I. My aunt even purchased this to use on my great-grandma (93 years old) because she needed a quick and easy way to check her temperature. I had no problems at all with this thermometer and I really do love how big and durable it is. I haven’t lost it yet! (I tend to misplace thermometers and then can’t find them when I need them!) Whether you are monitoring a Fever or just checking, this thermometer really does a great job!

when I’m sick I just want to be left alone to sleep
I get colds a lot, so I care for myself by using a Neti Pot to keep my sinuses flowing!

Thank you! @sarahsmom32
My boys are a little older now, and just like to be left alone when they are not feeling well.

When my kids are sick, I’m their ‘personal nurse’ to be sure! I always do whatever makes them feel better including medicine, a cool washcloth for their head (love that one), chicken noodle soup, a back rub, you name it

I am knocking on wood as I type that my kids don’t get sick very often. When they do they get to stay home, usually with me, and they lay around on the couch. I usually give them medicine to alleviate annoying symptoms like fever and cough and I limit their activity.
I normally just eat some chicken noodle soup, drink lots, and go to sleep.
I like warm baths for as long as possible when I can when I am sick thanks for the chance, with my kids just baby baby baby them
