3 days ago, I was feeling feverish so I used the thermometer orally. Later, I got to know that it was used by a family member a few months ago to take underarm measurement. They had not disinfected it at that time. I'm feeling feverish everyday now since 4 days and have a cold along with swollen tonsils and neck pain. What do I do.
