• Temperatures measured with different thermometers should never be compared with one another.
• Tell your doctor what type of thermometer you used to take your temperature and on what part of the body. Also bear
this in mind if you are diagnosing yourself.
Holding the thermometer in your hand for too long before taking a measurement can cause the device to warm up. This
means the measurement could be incorrect.
