Tissue and thermometer
Tissue and medical thermometer. Tissues are used when the sinus and nasal membranes become inflamed during a cold or other infection, forming large amounts of mucus. A medical thermometer is used to measure body temperature. The thermometer scale is in both degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. The red arrow marks normal human body temperature (37 degrees Celsius; 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). A rise in body temperature often indicates a fever, where the rise in body temperature is part of the defence mechanism against a viral infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the essential tools used in diagnosing and treating common infections such as colds and influenza. The image features a tissue box alongside a medical thermometer, both vital components in monitoring and alleviating symptoms associated with these ailments. Tissues play a crucial role when sinus and nasal membranes become inflamed during an infection, causing excessive mucus production. This handy accessory helps to keep discomfort at bay by providing relief for runny noses and congestion. The medical thermometer displayed here is an indispensable device for measuring body temperature accurately. Its dual-scale design allows readings in both degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, ensuring compatibility worldwide. The red arrow prominently points to the standard human body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, serving as a reference point for health professionals. A rise in body temperature often indicates the presence of fever, which can be one's defense mechanism against viral infections like the flu. Monitoring changes in temperature using this reliable equipment aids physicians in making accurate diagnoses while guiding appropriate treatment plans. Science Photo Library captures this conceptual image beautifully, emphasizing the importance of these diagnostic tools that are instrumental in understanding our bodies' response to various illnesses without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation.
