Fever Care

Fever care products are the first line of defence against illness. Every family should have some kind of temperature monitoring and management device in their home at all times. Instant, accurate thermometer readings help you to keep track of your family’s body temperature at all times, and take quick action at the first sign of fever.

Introduction to Fever Care

Our fever care products include a range of digital thermometers and wearable temperature monitoring devices, designed to provide fast and accurate body temperature readings. A body temperature of 38°C or higher is considered to be a fever, and the sufferer will need immediate care to ensure that the fever does not increase and cause serious damage. The only way to assess body temperature accurately is with a specially designed thermometer, such as one from the FORA range that we stock.

A Comprehensive Range of Fever Care Products

FORA digital thermometers range from small child thermometers for oral use to more sophisticated ear thermometers that render an accurate reading in seconds. The IR20b ear thermometer even includes red and green backlighting on the LED display to indicate whether the temperature is normal or too high. It also has a 10-measurement memory capacity, which you can use to track thermometer variations. If you are a parent looking to monitor your baby or young child’s temperature on an ongoing basis, the Wearable Temperature Monitor is an essential piece of equipment for your home. It enables you to set up temperature alarms to notify you if your little one’s temperature gets too high. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to transfer data to the iFORA BM smartphone app, where you can store and manage data relating to your child’s temperature. If you prefer to measure temperature without bringing a device into direct contact with a child or patient, your best choice would be our FORA contactless forehead thermometer. If you are a medical practitioner using your thermometer to track the temperature of several different patients on an ongoing basis every day, you will need a supply of ear thermometer probe covers. We supply these too.

Fever Care FAQs

Why does the contactless thermometer take the temperature at the forehead or temple? The temple or forehead has long been considered the best place to take a person’s temperature. This is because the carotid artery is nearby, and it is very close to the skin’s surface. Since the carotid connects the heart to the head, it provides an ideal way to learn the central body temperature by measuring the skin surface over the area.

How do we know how long we need to hold a thermometer to someone’s head, or in their mouth, ear or armpit? With modern thermometers, this is easy. The thermometer will simply beep when it is time to remove it and check the reading.
