What is the cause of a one-year-old baby's fever and cold hands and feet?

I believe that every parent is very concerned about the physical health of their baby. If the baby has some abnormal physical conditions, parents will definitely be very worried and don’t know what to do. In fact, parents should learn more about common baby diseases so that they can help the baby to treat the disease in time once the baby has a disease. Below we will introduce what is going on when a one-year-old baby has a fever and cold hands and feet.

The phenomenon of babies having fever and cold hands and feet is often seen in clinical practice. This is a false cold and real heat phenomenon. Although the child's hands and feet are cold, his internal organs are in a hot state. This is especially common in infants under 3 years old. The reasons why babies have fever and cold hands and feet are as follows:

Children's limbs contain less blood than their internal organs, and the blood supply to their limbs is insufficient, so they are more likely to feel cold than adults. In addition, the development of children's nervous system is not yet complete, and the autonomic nervous system responsible for managing vasodilation and contraction is prone to disorder, resulting in the small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs being in a spasmodic contraction state and becoming cold when high fever first occurs.

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.

In fact, it is very normal for children to have a fever. Parents should treat it rationally and not blindly give the baby medicine or suffocate the baby. If the baby has other discomfort, it is recommended to see a doctor to see if there is any inflammation or something, and take the medicine prescribed by the doctor according to the doctor's instructions.

The above article gives us a detailed introduction to what is going on when a one-year-old baby has a fever and cold hands and feet.
