What to do if your baby's hands and feet are hot

Children will definitely have some adverse symptoms in daily life. Symptoms such as hot hands and feet should be accompanied by other complications. We can find out the cause of the disease in time based on the complications. Children's bodies are relatively weak, and it is not advisable to treat them with medicine. In life, we can use diet therapy to relieve the symptoms of hot hands and feet in babies.

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.

Normally, the palms and soles of children's feet will be a little hot, and their temperature is higher than that of adults. If a child's palms and soles feel hot when he is sick, then the child's body temperature will not exceed 39 degrees. If the palms and soles of a child feel cold when he is sick, then you really need to pay attention, because the body temperature may exceed 39 degrees. Spring is also the season when children are most likely to get sick. Always pay attention to the child's movements. Don't wear too much or too little.

Relatively speaking, the amount of heat emitted by children is much higher than that of us adults. It is normal for it to be slightly higher than that of adults by about one degree. If it exceeds the normal range, it may be a symptom of the disease. Spring is the peak season for diseases, so we must do a good job of daily care for our babies in spring. Prevention work is very important.
