What causes children's cold hands and feet?

Many young children have cold hands and feet, which makes many parents worried. Will it affect the children's health? Many people have cold hands and feet because of symptoms caused by kidney deficiency, so what is the reason for children's cold hands and feet? Let's ask the experts to introduce this issue to us.

Children are prone to cold hands and feet mainly because they have poor ability to regulate body temperature. It is difficult for them to regulate their body temperature well in an overly cold or overheated environment. It is unlikely to be caused by genetic constitution.

When a child has cold hands and feet, the first thing to do is to check whether the temperature of the living environment and the clothes and blankets are appropriate. As long as the tip of the nose and the back of the head are warm, the child is not cold.

In addition, when babies have a fever, they often have cold hands and feet. At this time, the palms and soles of the feet are dry and sweaty. You can feel the fever when you touch the child's forehead with the back of your hand. You must see a doctor immediately. Some diseases can affect the baby's blood circulation, such as anemia, heart disease, malnutrition, etc. Parents should pay attention to whether the child has pale complexion, cyanosis of lips, weak crying, less activity and easy fatigue. For cold hands and feet that are not caused by disease, you should take measures from all aspects of daily life: Keep warm, paying special attention to keeping your legs and feet warm. If the lower limbs are well kept, the whole body will feel warm. Avoid wearing tight clothing as it can restrict blood circulation.

You may have a cold constitution. To improve this situation, you can start with diet, choose hot foods, balance your constitution, increase physical exercise, and promote blood circulation to improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet. People with a cold constitution should consume more foods rich in vitamin E, iron, and protein, as well as some warm foods, to improve their body's resistance to cold. Common warm foods include: beef, lamb, dog, chicken, garlic, pepper, ginger, onion, yam, longan, etc. In addition, when the weather is cold, you can drink a little bit of alcohol, and the feeling of warming your body will be direct and immediate. However, avoid drinking too much. It should be noted that such people should avoid eating raw or cold food, ice or drinking cold drinks all year round.

The above is the expert’s opinion on this issue. If a child’s hands and feet become shiny, the child’s parents need to take the child for diagnostic examinations. This is to ensure the child’s physical health and avoid worsening of the disease. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
