Why do children have hot hands and feet?

Children's bodies are relatively weak and they are in a stage of development. We need to use the correct method to reduce fever. Blindly using medication will put a greater burden on the child's body. During the treatment period, we must pay attention to drinking plenty of water. Promoting blood circulation in the body is also a key factor in alleviating disease symptoms. Proper heat dissipation can relieve fever in children's 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.

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.

The practice of parents wrapping their children tightly will not only prevent the children's body temperature from being dissipated in time and cause it to rise higher and higher, but it may even cause convulsions and seizures.

Whether using physical cooling methods or drug cooling methods, we need to choose the most correct method that is most suitable for the child's body. Otherwise, it will cause some adverse effects on the child's body. In life, we should also let children exercise properly to enhance their physical fitness, which is also an important way to prevent other diseases.
