Today I will tell you about thermometers for measuring body temperature, namely which of the three most common types (mercury, electronic or infrared), in my opinion, better to buy and why. As a rule, we do not pay due attention to thermometers, since we rarely use them. Therefore, there are situations when he fails at the most inopportune moment. To keep this from happening better evaluate in advance all the pros and cons of each type.

1. Mercury thermometer (classic). Of the advantages of the classic version, one can single out measurement accuracy, reliability and relatively low price (from 150 rubles). I identified the following cons: cannot be bought at the pharmacy (due to the recently passed law, I went around 5 pharmacies and none of them were), health hazard in case of breakage and measurement duration (7-10 minutes).

2. Electronic thermometer. Pros - health safety in case of breakage, measurement speed (2-3 minutes), relatively low price (from 300 rubles). The disadvantages are

measurement inaccuracy of some brands. For example, I had an electronic thermometer that lowered the temperature by 0.9 degrees.

3. Infrared (non-contact) thermometer. Pros: ideal for small children, measurement takes place in a matter of seconds. Minuses: price (from 1000 rubles), easy to make an inaccurate measurement, since you need to aim exactly at the right points on the head. I personally have an ordinary mercury thermometer and an electronic one. I make measurements electronic, as it is more convenient, occasionally checking it with mercury. In my opinion this is the best option. If you liked the article - rate it like it!
