The child's hands and feet are hot but he or she does not have a fever

Parents with children at home should fully understand their children's various conditions. Is it normal for children to have hot hands and feet but not fever? Children's body temperature is naturally higher than that of adults, so it is normal for their hands and feet to be warm but not feverish. At this time, we should consider whether it is due to environmental reasons. Such symptoms will occur when entering a high temperature environment. In addition, whether a child sweats a lot is also related to whether he is prone to catching a cold.

1. Reasons why the baby's hands and feet are hot when sleeping but not fever

"Heat" will cause the blood vessels in the skin to dilate, causing the face to flush. If there is no fever, it's okay. It may be caused by the indoor temperature being too high or the baby being dressed too much. This is just a physiological reaction, not a disease, so please don't worry. If the baby's feeding, sleeping, spirit, urination and defecation are all good, then it's okay and no treatment is needed. Feed the baby more warm water and pay attention to observe the baby's condition in all aspects.

2. Reasons why babies sweat when they sleep

Reason 1: Physical reasons

The skin of infants and young children has a higher water content and more microvessels on the surface of the skin. Due to their active metabolism, more water evaporates from the skin. Because the baby's brain and nervous system is not yet fully developed and is in the growth and development period, the body's metabolism is very active. Coupled with the stimulation of overheating, the baby can only regulate normal body temperature by sweating to evaporate the heat in the body. Moreover, babies are lively and active, and many of them like to play with their parents for a while after going to bed at night, so they often sweat a lot after falling asleep.

Reason 2: Nursing reasons

Parents are often accustomed to deciding the best environmental temperature for their baby based on their own subjective feelings. They like to cover their baby with more quilts and cover them tightly, which is also the reason why the baby sweats while sleeping. Sometimes, when the weather is not cold, parents also dress their babies in more clothes, which can also cause babies to sweat while sleeping.

Reason three: Nutritional reasons

Many parents are always worried that their babies are not getting enough nutrition and try every means to get their babies to eat more supplements. Some parents will give their babies milk, malted milk, etc. before they go to sleep. After the baby falls asleep, the body produces a lot of heat, which can only be dissipated through sweating through the skin. This is also the reason why the baby sweats while sleeping.
