When my baby girl is ill, she deserves a good night’s sleep

My daughter is now 4 years old. She is absolutely adorable and enjoys playing with her friends. She is a happy and healthy girl!

Her life began very differently. After she was born, she fell ill. It wasn’t seriously serious, but she didn’t feel well most of the time. Her nose was always running. She had headaches. She also had a high temperature. Our doctor told us this sometimes happens. You shouldn’t worry too much about it, but you should keep an eye on your baby’s temperature often. A fever might be dangerous to her. 

That’s what we did. Our daughter started to resist the thermometer the more we checked her body temperature. We used to have an ear thermometer. Initially, she was fine with us checking her temperature. She began to resist after a while whenever we pushed the tip of the thermometer into her ear. She would also cry. 

Therefore, I decided to check with our doctor again. The doctor asked us what type of thermometer we were using. After telling her we had an ear thermometer at home, she suggested we purchase a different type of thermometer. She suggested we purchase a Temporal Artery Thermometer. Such a device was new to me. They are manufactured by Exergen in the United States. Temporal Artery Thermometers are non-invasive. To perform a perfect measurement, all it takes is a gentle swipe with the thermometer across the forehead. As a result, you can measure the temperature of the blood in the artery on the forehead of your child. As this artery lies just 2 millimeters below the skin, it is an excellent place to measure body temperature, our doctor explained. Our doctor told us that your daughter will love this procedure because it will feel like a game to her. You can even measure their temperature while they are asleep. Swiping across their forehead is so gentle that they will not wake up.

Therefore, we bought an Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer. We are glad we did. Despite having colds for a few more months, my daughter enjoyed our new thermometer very much. She thought we were playing a game. Every time I took out the Temporal Artery Thermometer, she would start laughing. I could easily measure her temperature even when she was asleep. The Temporal Artery Thermometer is great for this. When my daughter is not feeling well, she deserves a good night’s sleep.
