Reasons for fever in baby's palms and soles

In the practice of many Chinese medicine doctors, they often encounter some young parents who bring their children to consult. The main symptoms are hot palms and soles of their babies, and some children even feel weak all over and have small red spots on their bodies. In traditional Chinese medicine, what causes this symptom? This article will give a simple explanation for young parents.

Traditional Chinese medicine divides fever in the palms and soles into two types: malnutrition and spleen deficiency and blood and yin deficiency:

1. Deficiency of blood and yin, hot hands and feet: Hotness in the palms and soles of feet is mostly caused by malnutrition and spleen deficiency, and most of them occur in infants and young children under 3 years old. The reasons are mostly due to weak constitution, or lack of conditioning after a serious illness or fever, resulting in damage to yin and blood, and failure to restore vital energy. This part is often manifested as hot palms and soles, weight loss, mental depression, cough with little sputum, dizziness and tinnitus, dry mouth and tongue, hot flashes in the afternoon, red cheeks and night sweats, frequent urination, and constipation.

2. Malnutrition and spleen deficiency, hot palms and soles: The first reason is improper diet, that is, some people eat excessively, eat at irregular times, and often eat snacks. In the long run, it can damage the spleen and stomach function, cause abnormal transportation and metabolism, and form stagnation. Stagnation lasts for a long time, and the essence of water and grain cannot be absorbed, forming malnutrition and fever. The second is that after suffering from other diseases, such as vomiting, diarrhea, dysentery, parasitic diseases, etc., if they are not treated properly for a long time, they will damage the qi and blood, leading to malnutrition and the formation of malnutrition and fever. Common symptoms in this area include hot palms and soles, sallow and thin face, dry hair, bloated abdomen, poor appetite, frequent ingestion of foreign objects, restless sleep at night, loose stools, undigested food, and yellow and turbid urine like rice water.

It is very rare for the palms and soles to be hot without other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, hot palms and soles are accompanied by other symptoms that are not noticed or are considered normal. If small red spots appear on your body, you need to see if they are bleeding spots. If so, you must go to the hospital. If the small red spots are heat rash, you should bathe your baby frequently, keep the air circulating, and avoid letting your baby sweat profusely.
