What to do if your child has a fever and his hands and feet are hot

If children have a fever, it will naturally have an impact and harm on their bodies. They are all relatively large, but in life, children's fever can be said to be the most common phenomenon, and when children have a fever, their hands and feet will also have problems. So below I will introduce to you in detail some symptoms of children's fever with hot hands and feet, as well as the correct and effective treatment methods.

If a child has a fever, it indicates that there is an infection in the body. As to what kind of infection it is, it requires going to the hospital for examination to determine. Parents only give their children fever-reducing medicine, which is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. Antipyretic is an auxiliary treatment in the entire treatment process, and its main function is to relieve symptoms and prevent high fever convulsions. When a child is sick, the fever symptoms will last for 3-5 days, so if you give your child antipyretics in the afternoon, the child's temperature will rise again in the evening.

Moreover, fever is the process of the body producing antibodies, and experts believe that fever can increase immunity. The child currently has a cold body and warm hands and feet, which means that the child's body temperature is rising. There is a 6-8 hour interval between two doses of the medicine. Body temperature should still be measured before taking the medicine. It can be used again only if it exceeds 38.5 degrees. If the child's temperature rises again within 6-8 hours, physical cooling should be used. Frequent use of antipyretics can cause a child's body temperature to drop suddenly or not rise, which is also very dangerous.

Targeted treatment is the principle of treating diseases. Although you are reluctant to take your child to the hospital, for the sake of your child, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital as soon as possible. The earlier the diagnosis is, the sooner the disease can be cured.

In fact, the above-mentioned problems in children have a great impact and harm on their bodies. Therefore, every parent should have a scientific understanding of this common sense when taking care of their children. When they find this disease, they should help the children solve it in time to reduce the harm caused.
