Smarttemp Review

The life of a mum: kids, fever and cough 
oh well, that's life isn't it? There are days of ups and downs  Let's just enjoy the ride 

So the daughter has got another bout of coughs, this time like every other time, we don't know how and where she caught it from..

Last evening she was a little cranky pants, checked that she had a slight fever at 37.6 degrees (10pm before bedtime).

I didn't want to administer fever medication straight away, so we stuck on the Smarttemp and turned on the App on my phone to set the alarm to ring if her temp went above 38.5.

We all went to sleep, and as you can see, her fever did not go up, alarm did not ring and we all managed to get a good night's sleep and awoke fresh for a new day!

If not for the Smarttemp, I would have had to set my alarm clock to ring every few hours through the night to wake up and take her temperature!

Thank you Smarttemp! You are indeed a "sleep-saver"!

Your child is human too

“So often, children are punished for being human. They are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones, or bad attitudes. Yet, we adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.” https://www.mother.ly/child/your-child-is-human-too

Fever Temperatures: Accuracy and Comparison

You can take a temperature using the mouth (oral), anus (rectal), armpit (axillary), or ear (tympanic). But the temperature readings vary depending on which one you use, and you need an accurate body temperature to determine if a fever is present. Medical research hasn't determined an exact correlation between oral, rectal, ear, armpit, and forehead temperature measurements. When you talk with your doctor about your temperature, be  sure to say what method was used to take the temperature. Generally, the correlation of temperature results are as follows: The average normal oral temperature is 37°C. A rectal temperature is 0.3°C to 0.6°C higher than an oral temperature. An ear (tympanic) temperature is 0.3°C to 0.6°C higher than an oral temperature. An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.3°C to 0.6°C lower than an oral temperature. A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.3°C to 0.6°C lower than an oral temperature. Source:  www.webmd.com
