Baby's whole body is hot and his hands and feet are hot

For many babies, because they cannot fully express their feelings, parents need to pay more attention to them when they are sick. For babies, the most common illness is high fever. Many mothers will encounter the situation where their babies have hot whole body and hot hands and feet. Even the fever reached 39 degrees. In fact, don’t panic if you encounter this situation. There are some methods that can help your baby cool down.

What causes a baby to have a fever?

1. Affected by external environmental factors: for example, wearing too many clothes, drinking too little water, poor room ventilation, high ambient temperature, etc.

2. Affected by disease factors: The baby's body temperature rises due to illness (may be caused by acute infections such as viruses and bacteria, and acute infectious diseases such as pneumonia and sepsis); (This type of fever needs to be treated with appropriate medicine under the guidance of a doctor. If it is viral, it may recur.)

3. Reactions after vaccination. It seems that some babies will have fever after receiving the DPT and measles vaccines. (This type of fever can usually be controlled with some common antipyretics, and there will be no recurrence, so there is no need to worry too much.)

What should I do if my baby has a fever of 39 degrees and his hands and feet are very hot?

1. Keep the air circulating in your home. The air conditioning temperature is best set at around 27 degrees.

2. Take off excess clothes. Don’t believe the folk saying that you need to use a quilt to “sweat out” a cold. For babies who have warm hands and feet and sweat all over their body due to fever, they need to wear less clothes. Don't be afraid of the wind blowing, which will make the baby uncomfortable due to difficulty in dissipating heat.

3. Take a warm bath. Because when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it takes away some body heat, thus achieving a cooling effect. This method is very effective when you just have a fever.

4. Drink more water. Water can regulate temperature and replenish the water lost in the baby's body due to fever. This is very effective. Parents must find ways to coax their babies to drink more water.

5. Seek medical attention promptly. Once it is confirmed that the baby is sick and has a fever, as long as it is over 38 degrees, if the above methods do not work, it is recommended to take the child to see a doctor in time. Especially babies should be careful.

The above is what the editor introduced to you about some situations where the baby has a fever of 39 degrees and his hands and feet are very hot. I hope it will be helpful to you. The editor suggests that if the baby has a mild fever, parents can observe the baby's reaction. If there is no abnormal behavior, parents do not need to worry too much. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, the baby should be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately.
