Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As discussed, the ear thermometer may provide extremely accurate readings with older children who do not mind feeling the thermometer in their ears. For parents with younger children, the forehead thermometer is ideal as it is gentle and non-intrusive.
Detailed explanation-2: -This type of thermometer may be less accurate than other types. Direct sunlight, cold temperatures or a sweaty forehead can affect temperature readings. Variations on user technique, such as holding the scanner too far away from the forehead, also may affect accuracy.
