Digital Thermometer

Description:
A thermometer is a very important medical device that needs to be kept within one’s reach in a first aid kit whether at home, office, school, college or any health centre. A thermometer helps you to decipher whether you, your loved one or your patient have a fever. A fever can be an indication of many conditions, such as due to infections, autoimmune disorders, vector-borne diseases like malaria, dengue or gastrointestinal infection. Monitoring and recording temperature can help your doctor understand the pattern of fever, which is useful in making the diagnosis and also in tracking recovery.
