If you experience a rare but serious side effects, stop taking meropenem and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately: 1  allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives) 2  seizures; 3  severe or watery diarrhea;  a skin rash;
You can take a temperature using the mouth (oral), anus (rectal), armpit (axillary), or ear (tympanic). But the temperature readings vary depending on which one you use, and you need an accurate body temperature to determine if a fever is present.Medical research hasn't determined an exact correlation between oral, rectal, ear, armpit, and forehead temperature measurements.
The easiest way to do this is to find a substance having a property that changes in a regular way with its temperature. The most direct 'regular' way is a linear one: t(x) = ax + b, where t is the temperature of the substance and changes as the property x of the substance changes. The constants a and b depend on the substance used and may be evaluated by specifying two temperature points on the scale, such as 32Â° for the freezing point of water and 212Â° for its boiling point.
