Sleeping child's hands and feet are hot

Many parents, if they have no experience in taking care of their babies, will become very worried once they find any abnormality in their babies. For example, when the baby is sleeping, he does not have a fever or a cold, but for some unknown reason his hands and feet become hot. In fact, this situation is very common. Parents don’t need to worry too much. This may be a normal behavior of the child.

My baby's palms and soles are hot when he falls asleep. What's going on?

1. Children's metabolism is vigorous, blood circulation is accelerated, and the body produces more heat that needs to be dissipated through the body surface. The child may feel that his body temperature and palm temperature are high. It is more obvious when there is a fever and there is no other discomfort. It may be a normal physiological phenomenon.

2. If the child behaves like this when he is not active, you should check if he is wearing too many clothes. If there is nothing wrong with the clothes your child is wearing, you should take your child's temperature to make sure it is normal. If the body temperature is normal, there is no problem. You should make sure to give your child enough water and check whether he is suffering from calcium deficiency.

3. The baby has symptoms of getting angry, such as hot palms and yellow urine, which are caused by excessive internal heat.

4. The baby has food accumulation and the baby's stomach is congenitally insufficient. In order to supplement the nutrition for the child, some parents always feed the child some high-fat, high-protein, high-calorie food that is difficult to digest, which further increases the burden on the spleen and stomach, causing food stagnation and heat accumulation over time, resulting in hot hands and feet, fever in the abdomen, and bloating. Such children are often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of appetite, dry stools, red tongue coating, abnormal taste, but the body temperature is generally normal.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the symptom of hot palms and soles of children is believed to be due to blood deficiency and yin deficiency in the baby, which causes the hot hands and feet.

The palms and soles of children's hands and feet are hot because of damp heat accumulation in the body. However, unlike adults, children's damp heat often comes from food. Children have weak spleen and stomach, and often suffer from indigestion, which generates damp heat when accumulated in the body. Therefore, the treatment is mainly for spleen and stomach indigestion, and the damp heat is also cleared. You can use Chinese medicine to regulate your body. At the same time, you should also pay attention to supplementing a certain amount of nutritious food, letting children get more sun and breathe fresh air to promote physical recovery.
