Information from “Determination of Normal Ear Temperature with an Infrared Emission
Detection Thermometer” by Chamberlain, J.M., MD, and Terndrup, T.E., MD,
published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, January 1995
Note: Do not self-diagnose. The use of any thermometer is not intended as a
substitute for consultation with a physician.
If the temperature of a child under 6 months old reaches 40.0°C / 104.0°F or
more, consult a doctor immediately. Please note that, as the patient becomes
older, this 40.0°C / 104.0°F ceiling actually falls e.g. a 2 year old may need to
consult a doctor immediately if their temperature reaches 39.0°C / 102.2°F.
CAUTION: High prolonged fever always requires medical attention, especially
for young children.
