What to do if children have a fever and cold hands and feet

Children's fever is a rather tricky problem, because children's physical conditions are more complicated and many medicines cannot be used casually. Once a danger occurs, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, when parents find that their children have a fever, they should go to the hospital as soon as possible. If the condition is relatively mild, some simple methods can be used to reduce the fever and reduce the damage. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the solution to children's fever and cold hands and feet.

Children with a cold usually only need oral medication when the temperature is above 39 degrees. If the temperature is below 39 degrees, physical therapy is usually sufficient. Because the human body has its own immune regulation, body temperature will rise when fighting bacteria and viruses. Pay attention to your body temperature at night, because the human body's immunity is particularly low at night, so it is easy to have a fever, while the temperature drops during the day.

This phenomenon of false cold and real heat is mainly because babies (especially infants and young children) have less blood in their limbs than in their internal organs. Due to insufficient blood supply to their limbs, they are more likely to feel cold than adults. In addition, the baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed, and the autonomic nerves responsible for managing vasodilation and contraction are prone to disorder, causing the small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs to be in a spasmodic contraction state and become cold when the high fever first occurs.

Many parents do not understand this situation. Once they find their baby's limbs are cold, they mistakenly think that the baby has caught a cold and is afraid of the cold, so they immediately wrap the baby tightly. As a result, the baby's body temperature cannot be dissipated in time and keeps rising, and even high fever and convulsions occur.

If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, do not reduce the fever too quickly when the child has a fever. Many parents are eager to reduce their children's fever because they are worried that the fever will damage their children's brains and affect their intelligence. In fact, a simple fever will not affect the intellectual development of children.

If the baby has other discomforts, it is recommended to see a doctor to see if there is any inflammation or something, and it would be better to prescribe some medicine for the baby to take.

The above content is about the solution to children’s fever and cold hands and feet. Although fever is also a common disease, we should not take it lightly. Any disease will cause some harm to the body, especially children’s bodies are more fragile. Delay may affect their future growth. Parents should pay special attention.
