If non-contact forehead measurement is used for infants and small children
(particularly during the first 6 months), we recommend that the measured
value is always verified using a rectal measurement.

The values measured by you are for your information only – they are not
a substitute for a medical examination! Discuss your measurements with your
doctor and under no circumstances make your own medical decisions based
on those measurements (e.g. medications or their dosage)!
