A clinical thermometer is a thermometer people use to check the average humans body temperature.
no,digital thermometers don't have mercury whereas clinical thermometers have mercury.
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
Laboratory thermometers can measure wide variety of temperature, whereas a clinical thermometer has a range between 95 to 105 Fahrenheit. Clinical thermometers are made to be used in a hospital to accurately determinebody temperature. They are often digital. Lab thermometers are made of metal or glass and usually don't give you an accurate reading as much as a "ball park". Clinical thermometer may have mercury but lab thermometers usually have alcohol .

Mercury is used in clinical thermometers.

clinical thermometers measure temperature in Celsius.
Clinical thermometers are specifically designed for measuring human body temperature, while other mercury-in-glass thermometers can be used for various purposes such as measuring temperature in laboratories or industrial settings. Clinical thermometers typically have a narrower temperature range focused on human body temperature, while other thermometers may have a wider temperature range. Additionally, clinical thermometers are often designed with features like an easy-to-read scale and a flexible tip for comfort and safety during use.

Alcohole is not used for any thermometer only murcury (Hg) is used
The liquid in a clinical thermometer is often mercury. But there are thermometers that use a coloured alcohol.

They are called clinical thermometers. Their range varies from 35 degree celsius to 42 degree celsius. This is to get a accurate reading of the temperature.
Mercury is no longer used much in thermometers due to the poisonous compounds that it forms. When I grew up, in Chemistry at school and at the doctors there were mercury thermometers and alcohol thermometers.
