What should I do if my child has a fever and cold feet?

When a child has a fever and has cold feet, it is probably because the peripheral nerves cannot reach the feet, resulting in cold feet. The child needs to be treated to cool down first. So how should the child's cold feet caused by fever be treated specifically? The editor has collected some information on treating children's fever and relieving cold feet. If you need it, you can follow the editor to have a look.

After a visit to the hospital, when you return home, there are simple things a mother can do to make her baby more comfortable.

Drink more water. Drinking water helps to sweat and dissipate heat, lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the child's body. Drinking water is not limited to plain water. You can let your child drink some of his or her favorite fruit juice, beverages, etc. to replenish water and vitamins, or drink more soup. When your child is sick and has no appetite, you can let him/her eat some cake, tofu, etc.

Pay attention to keeping warm. Insulation does not mean the warmer the better. When your child has a fever, remember not to let him dress in too many clothes or cover him with too thick a quilt. This traditional method of "covering up sweat" is not conducive to dissipating heat and reducing fever. Just let the child wear one more piece of clothing than the normal adult. For example, when the adult wears short sleeves, the child can wear long sleeves. When the adult wears one long skirt, the child can wear two.

Take a warm shower. Some mothers worry that giving their children a bath while they have a fever will aggravate the symptoms. After having a fever, you sweat a lot. If you don’t keep clean, it is easy to cause infection by other bacteria, so taking a shower is necessary, but you must use warm water, and the water temperature is best at 38-39℃.

Wiping or bathing your child's entire body with warm water can dilate the blood vessels in his or her skin and increase heat dissipation. After taking a shower, wrap your child in a large towel to prevent him from catching a cold.

Now you have seen the editor’s introduction above about treating children with fever and cold feet. During treatment, the child’s temperature must be lowered first. If the high fever does not subside, it will cause damage to the child’s brain due to the fever. You can give the child a warm bath, which can dissipate heat well and help the child cool down.
