• For an infant, it is best to have the child laying flat with his head sideways so the ear is facing
upwards. For an older child or adult, it is best to stand behind and slightly to the side of the patient.
• Always take the temperature in the same ear, since the temperature readings may be different from
the right ear and left ear.
• Please wait for a few minutes to take the ear temperature after sleeping.
