Beurer tip Taking the body temperature provides a current measurement of a person’s temper- ature. If you are uncertain about interpreting the results or if the values are abnor- mal (e.g. fever), please consult your doctor. This also applies in the case of slight temperature changes if there are other symptoms of illness such as agitation, heavy sweating, flushed skin, fast pulse rate, tendency to collapse, etc.
