Have you ever encountered a child with fever and cold hands and feet?

In our daily life, we often encounter some things that may be relatively common, but when they really happen to us, we don’t know what to do. Let’s take a very simple thing as an example. A child has a fever and cold hands and feet. What should we do at this time? Another thing is why this happens.

Many parents do not understand this situation. Once they find their baby's limbs are cold, they mistakenly think that the baby has caught a cold and is afraid of the cold, so they immediately wrap the baby tightly. As a result, the baby's body temperature cannot be dissipated in time and keeps rising, and even high fever and convulsions occur. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, do not reduce the fever too quickly when the child has a fever. Many parents are eager to reduce their children's fever because they are worried that the fever will damage their children's brains and affect their intelligence. In fact, a simple fever will not affect the intellectual development of children. During treatment, you should drink plenty of 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. 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. 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 temperature reaches 30 degrees. To prevent heat cramps, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antipyretic drugs, or use physical cooling methods, such as using 75% alcohol or warm water to wipe the armpits, groin, palms, soles of the feet and other areas with rich blood flow, which can also help reduce fever, and the effect is very good, and children are willing to accept it.

In fact, as long as we find the problem, we can solve it quickly. However, it is worth mentioning that you should never go to some clinics to buy cheaper medicines just for the sake of saving some small profits. Doing so will not only not improve the child's condition, but may even make the situation worse. So I hope parents will pay more attention.
