The child has a fever and his body is hot and his feet are cold

Children usually won’t tell when they have a fever, so it’s up to their parents to discover it. Some children have a hot body when they have a fever, but some children have cold hands and feet but a hot body. There are many reasons for fever, so different fever situations may be caused by different causes. If your hands and feet are cold, it may be due to insufficient blood supply to your hands and feet. So what's going on when a child has a fever and his body is hot but his feet are cold?

The temperature of a low fever is between 37.5 and 38.5. You cannot take antipyretics at this stage. Therefore, effective physical cooling is very important. Generally, when a baby has a fever, he or she will feel chilly with cold hands and feet and shivering, but the body will feel very hot.

This is because the human brain has a thermoregulatory center that is used to regulate the body's temperature. Once a person is infected, his body temperature rises. At this temperature, the white blood cell count increases, causing the blood vessels in the limbs to constrict, allowing a large amount of blood to be supplied to the heart, lungs, and brain first. This is why the baby's body may feel hot but his hands and feet may be cold.

Pay attention to this symptom because this is the most uncomfortable time for the baby, so you need to keep the baby warm. But it is not the case that covering the baby with a thick quilt will make him hotter and hotter. You can warm up your baby's hands and feet as soon as possible by soaking them in hot water and rubbing them.

There are generally two types of fevers in children. One is hot hands and feet, and the other is cold hands and feet. Physical cooling cannot be used to cool down cold hands and feet. If the temperature exceeds 38°5, treat with medication. Also pay attention to your child's mental state. If you are in good mental state, you can treat yourself at home. Seek medical attention immediately if you feel depressed.

If your baby has a fever, it is recommended to take the baby for a routine blood test to see whether it is caused by a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Simply using antipyretic drugs is not enough. It is recommended to use Sunflower Children's Chaigui Antipyretic Granules to induce sweating, relieve exterior symptoms, clear the interior and reduce fever. During a cold, parents should let their children rest more and drink more boiled water. Generally, the condition will get better in 5-7 days. If the condition does not improve after 3 days and the fever persists, they should go to the hospital for treatment.
