The baby is cold after the fever subsides

Some parents may find a strange phenomenon that their child's body temperature is cold after the fever subsides, and they may worry about what is going on. It is actually normal for the baby's body to be cold after the fever subsides. This is because the baby's fever may be reduced too quickly. Parents just need to keep the child warm and the baby will soon return to normal.

Babies' bodies will have abnormal reactions after they get sick and have a fever. For example, some babies will feel cold all over after the fever subsides. In fact, this may be a normal phenomenon.

People cool down by sweating to remove heat. When a child sweats too much, his body temperature will drop. Cold hands and feet occur because when a person has a fever, in order to prevent internal organs from overheating, the body secretes substances that constrict blood vessels to reduce blood flow to the internal organs. The blood vessels in the skin are more sensitive to the effects of this substance and contract more strongly, resulting in the feeling of cold hands and feet.

If your baby's hands and feet are cold after his fever subsides, it may be because the fever subsided too quickly, so the baby's hands and feet will be cold. At this time, the baby will actually feel quite cold. The mother can keep the baby warm appropriately, but not cover him too much.

When your baby has a low body temperature due to excessive sweating, in addition to wiping the baby's sweat frequently, you can also let the baby drink small amounts of warm water multiple times (it is not recommended to drink a large amount of water at one time, because drinking a large amount of water at one time will make the baby sweat more). Also pay attention to keeping your baby warm, and use a hot water bottle to help raise body temperature if necessary.

How to care for your baby after the fever subsides

1. Increasing the baby's sleep time and reducing energy consumption will be beneficial to the body's fight against disease. Arrange a good rest environment for your baby.

2. Fever will cause the baby to lose more water in the body, and is prone to digestive tract dysfunction and decreased appetite. You can prepare some delicious, nutritious and easily digestible food for your baby, such as milk, egg custard, fresh fruits, vegetables, porridge, noodles, wontons, etc., to help your baby's appetite.
