Review – Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520
When you have a small child, it’s pretty easy to tell when they have a temperature, isn’t it? Well, actually… yes and no. It’s easy to tell when they’re running a HIGH temperature (but just how high is it? And is it still climbing?), but what about the days when they’re just cranky and clingy and you don’t know whyyyyy?
