use a thermometer (ear, digital, rectall or pacifier) and put the digital underneath your tongue and wait till it beeps. the same with the rest but the ear thermometer in the ear and rectall thermometer in the rectall.

Hope you get better soon

What is the advantage of providing a constriction in clinical thermometer?

The constriction in a clinical thermometer serves to trap the mercury (or other liquid) column after it has expanded with an increase in temperature. This prevents the mercury from falling back down immediately, allowing for a more accurate reading of the highest temperature reached. As a result, the user can easily read the temperature without needing to hold the thermometer in place for an extended period. This design enhances the convenience and reliability of temperature measurement in clinical settings.


Why is lab thermometer can't be used as clinical and vice - varsa?

A clinical thermometer typically shows a maximum reading while a lab thermometer typically shows the temperature right now. When you take a thermometer out of a patients mouth (or other place that you are measuring the temperature) you most often want the maximum temperature to keep showing until you reset the instrument. When using a lab oratory thermometer you want the instrument to react as quickly as possible so that changes (up and down) can be noticed and recorded.


How does a thermometer keep your home at a constant temperature?

It doesn't A thermometer doesn't keep your home at a certain temp. a thermometer tells the temp. of a place.


Where should a thermometer be kept?

Out of the hands of children, in a place protected from mechanical shock and away from extremes of temperature that could exceed the range of the thermometer.


Can body temperature be measured by keeping the thermometer at some place other than the mouth?

Yes. Temperature can be taken under the armpit (auxilla region), on the forehead using a thermometer strip (normally used for infants) and rectally using a rectal thermometer.

You should place the thermometer under your tongue for an accurate oral temperature reading.


Why care must be taken when disposing of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?

Well i'm not that old but i know a few:1)The thermometer will be of two types; a) Clinical Thermometer b) Laboratory Thermometer;a) The Clinical Thermometer: used to measure the temperature of the human body, at home, clinics and hospitals.b) The Laboratory Thermometer: used to measure the temperature in school and other laboratories for scientific research.Precautions:Wash the thermometer before and after use with an antiseptic solution, and handle it with care.See that the mercury levels are below the kink and don't hold the thermometer near its bulb.While noting down the reading in the thermometer, place the mercury level along the eye sight.Do not place the Clinical thermometer in a hot flame or in the hot sun.Note:The Clinical Thermometer should go above 108*F (42*C) and below 94*F (35*C) otherwise it might blow off the top and leak. Therefore, a Clinical Thermometer is used to measure the body temperature.


What tool would you use to measure the room temperature?

You can use a thermometer to measure room temperature accurately. Place the thermometer in the room for a few minutes to ensure an accurate reading.


What changes takes place in the liquid inside a thermometer when the thermometer is placed into something hot?

The liquid in thermometers expands when temperature increases (and contracts when temperature decreases). When it expands, the only place for it to expand 'to' is up the thermometer (into the empty space above it).

How do you test the temperature of the air?

You can test the temperature of the air using a thermometer designed for measuring air temperature. Simply place the thermometer in the area where you want to measure the temperature and read the display. Be sure to avoid blocking the airflow around the thermometer for an accurate reading.


How can I ensure the accuracy of my oven's temperature by calibrating it?

To ensure the accuracy of your oven's temperature, you can calibrate it by using an oven thermometer. Place the thermometer in the center of the oven and set the temperature to a specific degree. After preheating, compare the thermometer reading to the set temperature to adjust as needed.


What are various uses of thermometer?

so we will know the temperature of a thing or a place


What is thermometer and how is used?

A thermometer is an instrument used to measure temperate. They can be used for outdoor purposes or to see if someone is running a fever. They are found virtually anywhere where temperature needs to be recorded.
