Last Winter was a tough one for our family - Natey got sick with the flu which led to a big asthma exacerbation, and he was out of school for over two weeks. It broke my heart to watch him not be his active, happy self, but thankfully he fought it off.
This year, we are all armed with our flu shots and I have tried to better-equip us against this season's germs with vitamins and strict hand-washing!
We have had a few close calls, but thankfully, no flu.
If symptoms arise, I also have this cool new toy to help surveillance the crew for any impending fevers...
The Exergen Temporal Thermometer is used in hospitals and doctors' offices as a less invasive way to take your temperature. It uses patented SmartGlow infrared heat technology to detect blood flow information from forehead vessels. Pretty cool!
Some features of the thermometer are:
- A softly illuminated display for easy reading in any light – perfect for checking the temperature of a sleeping infant in a darkened room
- Beeping sound indicating scanning can be turned off or on to avoid waking a sleeping child
- Automatically retains the last eight temperature readings for instant recall to check on fever progression
- Ability to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius modes
My favorite feature is that you can take your child's temperature quickly and quietly without disrupting their sleep - or TV show like child pictured below... -_-
What are some ways you keep your family healthy during this cold and flu season?
You can find Exergen Products at local retail locations including Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, Kroger and BJ’s, the Smart Glow thermometer’s suggested retail price is $49.99.
***I was provided a thermometer for review, but was not compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.***
