Cold and flu season is almost upon us, which means now is a great time to prepare to make sure you have what you need on hand just in case. Of course, you should always consult with your doctor for a proper diagnosis before taking medication, but one item you can use at home to help monitor symptoms is a thermometer.

If you don't have one yet or think it's time for an upgrade, the GoodBaby No-Touch Thermometer should be at the top of your list. Not only is it the no.1 bestseller on Amazon, but this digital model is also on sale for only $16 thanks to the site's double discounts. It's already marked down and then there is an additional 20% clickable coupon that you just have to apply before adding one to your cart. The full discount will be reflected at checkout.

What sets this thermometer apart from old-school options is that it works great for people of all ages since its measurement time is only one second. Plus, it doesn't even have to touch your skin as it works from as little as 0.3 inches away to help prevent the spread of germs, which is important in a multi-person household.

All you have to do is press the large temperature button, wait for it to say it's ready, and hold it up to your forehead. It'll give you an accurate reading of your precise temperature and the screen will display green, yellow, or red to provide a visual. You can choose for the measurements to be displayed in Celcius or Fahrenheit for added convenience.

Nearly 80,000 shoppers have given this gadget a five-star rating and several have called it a game changer as it works "almost instantly." A plethora of other reviews raved that it's "worth every penny," especially while it's on sale at such a steep discount. But hurry, because over 60,000 have already sold in the past 30 days, so we won't be shocked if it sells out soon.

Now is your chance to add the GoodBaby No-Touch Thermometer to your cart for only $16, but hurry before it's too late.
