What should I do if my baby has a cold and cold hands and feet?

1. Use antipyretics correctly. If the child's body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs are generally not needed, but changes in body temperature should be closely monitored. If the child's body temperature reaches 39 degrees, in order to prevent heat cramps, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antipyretics for treatment, or use physical cooling methods, such as rubbing warm water on the armpits, groin, palms, soles of the feet and other areas with rich blood flow.

2. During treatment, you should drink more boiled water, which can not only replenish the lack of fluid in the body, but also help reduce fever. You can also take a hot bath to help cool down. Pay attention to your diet and don't eat too much meat. You should also rub your child's hands and feet frequently to promote blood circulation.

3. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the baby has just experienced diarrhea and fever, and his body's vitality has been damaged, so he needs to be replenished. You can cut two slices of ginger, add 5 red dates and a spoonful of brown sugar, boil water and feed it to your baby to replenish qi and blood. In addition, children should avoid eating raw, cold or cool foods. You can cook porridge with chicken or fish, which should be soft and tender, and give it to them to facilitate digestion and absorption.

Note: Some parents mistakenly believe that their children are afraid of the cold, so they wrap their children tightly with quilts or thick clothes, and then let the children sweat, and the cold or fever will naturally go away. Little do they know that this approach will aggravate the child's symptoms.

Babies’ colds are mostly caused by cold, so parents must observe their babies carefully and touch their hands at any time. If your baby's hands are cold, it means he has caught a cold.

1. Babies under 1 year old should drink brown sugar water. Brown sugar water is warm in nature and can dispel cold.

2. For babies over 1 year old, add a piece of ginger the size of a one-yuan coin to the brown sugar water, and cut it into two slices for babies over 3 years old.

3. Soak your baby's feet in warm water before going to bed at night until the baby's forehead sweats slightly. After soaking your feet, drink more warm water and go to bed as early as possible.

4. After going to bed, you can rub your baby's back up and down through the clothes. Rubbing the back to warm it up can also help prevent colds. If your baby has a mild nasal congestion, you can rub his little ears until they turn red, which is also very effective in treating nasal congestion.
