With Autumn officially about to start and the prospect of childhood infections looming large, parents need to start stocking up on the essentials ready to monitor for ailments. As a high temperature is usually a sign that something is wrong, a thermometer is a must buy item for every parent. One of the most efficient means of testing temperatures in children is with a digital ear thermometer as it's fast, accurate and easy to use. As part of its on-going Safety Essentials Campaign, Lloydspharmacy has joined forces with children's medicine expert Calpol to produce a jointly branded ear thermometer. Available exclusively throughout the 1364 strong pharmacy chain, the Calpol thermometer, normally priced at £39.99 will be available to Lloydspharmacy customers from 27 October at only £9.99. Representing a massive saving of £30 this makes the ear thermometer a more accessible item for all their customers and demonstrates Lloydspharmacy's continued commitment to looking after consumers' health. From teething troubles to colds and flu; and from sore tummies to tonsillitis, it's vital that parents check their child's temperature at the onset of any illness. This will help them diagnose the severity of the condition and could help prevent the condition from getting worse. Commenting on the importance of using a digital ear thermometer, Kedge Martin, Chief Executive of WellChild children's health charity said, "Parents need to be able to detect if their child is unwell and a fever is a common warning of illness. But it is often difficult to tell if a child's temperature is increased unless it can be measured with a thermometer. Ideally every parent should have one in the home. An ear probe thermometer gives a very quick reading sufficient to identify a fewer and is much easier to use than one which has to be placed for a few minutes in the armpit." So whether it's nurseries, classrooms or sleepovers that create the perfect conditions for sickness to spread, an ear-thermometer just might provide the early warning that parents need.
