It shouldn’t be sterilised as the thermometer would blast

Answered by TheAayush

The range of clinical thermometer is usually from 95°F to 110°F and the boiling point of water is 212°F. So on sterilizing by boiling, the capillary of thermometer will burst due to thermal expansion of mercury in the capillary.
