Thermometer

Hi I had a brief chat with Oncologist last week. He said to take temperature daily, once a day is enough. 

 

Can any one recommend a thermometer? Should I buy one that goes in ear or mouth? Which gives more accurate result? When I was in hospital they used in ear one but don’t want to spend a fortune if I can help it.

 

Any advice /suggestions would be great. Trying to get organised ahead of time, haven’t met the chemo nurse or see the chemo room yet. Think Easter hols have got in the way of appointments.

 

Thanks

Heather

Hi,

 

Hi, the ear ones are good.  Also take your temperature before using any paracetamol as it can mask a fever. If you develop a fever above 37.5 you need to contact your chemotherapy helpline
