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.
