Children's hands and feet are cold and they are afraid of cold but not fever

Children in their early childhood are very prone to illness because their body functions are still developing and they lack resistance to diseases. Cold hands and feet and fear of cold without fever are common symptoms of illness in daily life, but many parents do not know what causes this symptom. So it is impossible to help the child relieve the symptoms. So what is the matter with the child's cold hands and feet and fear of cold but no fever?

First, what's wrong with a child who has cold hands and feet and is afraid of the cold but has no fever? Cold hands and feet are related to many factors such as weak kidney yang, cold, wind, dampness, rheumatism, poor circulation of qi and blood in the meridians, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, internal heat, etc. It is recommended to check and confirm the diagnosis or seek Chinese medicine for diagnosis and treatment. You can also take medication. If it is kidney yang deficiency, you can take Guifu Dihuang Pills. If you are prone to cold, wind and dampness, or rheumatism, you can take Tianma Tablets, Wantong Jingu Tablets, and Zhuifeng Tougu Pills. If you have poor circulation of qi and blood in the meridians, you can take Danggui Sini Decoction. If a child has a fever and suddenly has a high fever, you should pay special attention to the occurrence of infectious diseases and go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Here are some simple and safe ways to reduce baby's fever at home: maintain air circulation in the home, take off excess clothes and wipe the baby's body with warm water. Untie the baby's clothes and wipe the body with warm water.

Second, if the baby only has cold hands and feet but no other abnormal symptoms, don’t worry. The baby’s autonomic nervous system is not fully developed and this phenomenon often occurs. It is generally normal. As long as the tip of the nose is hot, it is not cold. If it is a boy, you can observe his testicles. If they are relaxed, he is not cold, otherwise he is cold. For a girl, you can touch the back of her head. If it is hot, she is not cold, otherwise she is cold.

Why does a child have cold hands and feet but no fever? Having a fever but cold hands and feet is a phenomenon of false cold and real heat, which is especially common in infants and young children under 3 years old. This is mainly because babies (especially infants) have less blood in their limbs than in their internal organs. Due to insufficient blood supply to their limbs, they are more likely to feel cold than adults. In addition, the baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed, and the autonomic nerves responsible for managing vasodilation and contraction are prone to disorder, causing the small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs to be in a spasmodic contraction state and become cold when the high fever first occurs. Because children's central nervous system is not yet fully developed, their ability to regulate body temperature is imperfect. If the ambient temperature is low, children's hands will be exposed to the outside for a longer period of time, so their hands and feet will become cold.
