7 Best Thermometers for Home Use

7 Best Thermometers for Home Use
HPFY Staff Writer

Body temperature can tell a lot about what is happening inside the body, and fever can be indicative of many diseases. The body changes the temperature to support its defense system. Body temperature can also change depending on our activities and even the environment. If it is hot outside, body temperature may increase; if it is cold outside, the temperature may decrease. These fluctuating temperatures are measured by a device called a thermometer. 

Having a reliable and accurate thermometer helps to determine if a fever has developed and to decide the next course of care. Body temperature is measured by inserting a thermometer into the body or superficially on the surface of the skin. There are many types of thermometers available such as:

  • Contact Thermometer
  • Contact-free Thermometer
  • Digital Thermometer
  • Infrared Thermometer
  • Mercury Thermometer
  • Ear Thermometer
  • Forehead Thermometer
