What should I do if my baby feels cold after the fever subsides? Babies are very prone to cold and fever symptoms in spring and summer. Once they have a fever, they can easily become listless, have kidney problems, or even faint. Therefore, babies must be treated in a timely manner. Reducing fever is the most important thing, but some babies are prone to symptoms of cold body after the fever subsides. Let’s take a look at what to do if the baby’s body is cold after the fever subsides. I hope everyone can understand it.

Fever is reduced by sweating to remove heat. When a child sweats too much, his body temperature will drop. Cold hands and feet occur because when a person has a fever, in order to prevent internal organs from overheating, the body secretes substances that constrict blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the internal organs. The blood vessels in the skin are more sensitive to the effects of this substance and contract more strongly, resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet.

When the baby's body temperature is too low due to excessive sweating, in addition to wiping the baby's sweat frequently, you can also let the baby drink small amounts of warm water multiple times; also pay attention to keeping the baby warm, and use a hot water bottle to help raise the body temperature when necessary. As long as the baby has no other problems, the baby's body temperature will gradually return to normal after such treatment. If your baby's body becomes sometimes cold and sometimes hot after the fever subsides, you need to prevent the next round of fever. Parents should pay attention to keeping their babies warm and let them drink more warm water.

What to do if your hands and feet are cold

1. Get enough sleep

You should ensure at least 6 hours of sleep every day. Adequate sleep is beneficial to storing yang energy and accumulating yin essence.

2. Soak your feet every day

Foot soaking is the most effective method. Add 40-degree hot water to a deep basin and let the water cover your ankles. After soaking for about 20 minutes, you will feel warm all over your body, which means that your body starts to heat up after the blood circulation is smooth. The effect will be better if you rub your feet while soaking them.

3. Massage the palms and soles of feet

When you have time, you can rub the soles of your hands and feet frequently to improve the microcirculation of the terminal blood vessels and warm your hands and feet.
