What is the main reason for a baby's fever and hot palms and soles?

A baby is the backbone of a family, but this backbone is very fragile because all aspects of the body are not fully developed and have poor resistance, especially colds and fevers, which are a big demon for babies. So why do babies have hot palms and soles of feet when they have a fever? The answer is that this is also caused by fever. Here we will introduce to you the main reasons for this situation according to Chinese medicine analysis.

It is very rare for children to have hot palms and soles without other symptoms. Most of the children with hot palms and soles are accompanied by other symptoms that do not attract the attention of their parents or are considered normal by their parents. Traditional Chinese medicine divides fever in the palms and soles of children into two types: malnutrition and spleen deficiency and blood deficiency and yin deficiency.

1. Malnutrition and spleen deficiency, fever in the palms and soles

One of the reasons is improper diet. Some children eat excessively, at irregular times, and often eat snacks. This can damage the spleen and stomach functions in the long run, causing dysfunction of metabolism and forming stagnation. Over time, the essence of water and grain cannot be absorbed, resulting in malnutrition and fever.

The second is that after suffering from other diseases, such as vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, parasitic diseases, etc., if they are not treated properly for a long time, they will damage the qi and blood, leading to malnutrition and the formation of malnutrition and fever. These children often have hot palms and soles, sallow complexion, thin muscles, dry hair, distended abdomen, poor appetite, frequent ingestion of foreign objects, restless sleep at night, loose stools, undigested food, and yellow and turbid urine like rice water.

2. Blood deficiency and Yin deficiency, fever in hands and feet

The reasons are mostly due to weak constitution, or lack of conditioning after a serious illness or fever, resulting in damage to yin and blood, and failure to restore vital energy. These children often show symptoms such as hot palms and soles, emaciation, listlessness, cough with little sputum, dizziness, tinnitus, dry mouth and tongue, hot flashes in the afternoon, red cheeks, night sweats, frequent urination, and constipation.

Fever in the palms and soles of children is most commonly caused by malnutrition and spleen deficiency, and most of them occur in infants under 3 years old. While using medication, you should also pay attention to supplementing a certain amount of nutritious food, allowing children to get more sun and breathe fresh air to promote physical recovery.

After listening to the above description, I believe everyone must have a deeper understanding of the hot palms and soles of feet when the baby has a fever. When babies are young, their bodies are very fragile and they need the care and protection of adults. If this happens, adults must pay attention to it and not ignore it. Otherwise, it will not be as easy to deal with as before if you delay it later.
