HELPFUL GUIDELINES

Some helpful guidelines for best results when using the Vicks

Professional Thermometer:



Practice until you receive consistent readings



Call your doctor when your child has diarrhea, vomiting or changes in

appetite, lethargy (sluggishness) or is unusually sleepy.



It is important to know each individual’s “Normal” temperature when they are

well. This is the only way to accurately diagnose a fever. Take multiple

readings when healthy to determine “Normal” temperature. A child’s normal

temperature can be as high as 99.9°F.
