Whichever method is used, it is recommended, for 15 minutes prior to use, to avoid eating or drinking any liquids, exercising, taking showers or baths, or smoking.

Parents/guardians should call the pediatrician upon noticing any unusual sign(s) or symptom(s).
For example, a child who exhibits irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity, even in the absence of fever, or who exhibits a low temperature, may still need to receive medical attention.
Children who are on antibiotics, analgesics, or antipyretics should not be assessed solely on temperature readings to determine the severity of their illness.
