Regular fever check-ups allow you to track changes in your body temperature. Even a slight rise could be an early sign of the flu or another type of infection. The sooner you identify this, the faster you can take action, such as getting plenty of rest, hydrating, or seeking medical advice.

A fever thermometer is your best friend here. These tools are easy to use and read, offering fast and accurate readings. While there are several types of thermometers, digital ones (the Metene Thermometer is one example) are often preferred for their simplicity and precision.
