For babies, fever mainly refers to a change in their body temperature, which is mainly an increase and exceeds the normal range. For parents, most of them have experienced a fever and have some experience in dealing with their baby's fever, but the symptoms of a baby's fever are different. So, what's going on with the baby having a fever, cold hands and feet, and a hot head?
It is normal for a baby to have a fever, cold hands and feet, and hot head, which is a normal manifestation of the body's reaction. Some babies may also experience this situation when they first have a fever. This is related to the temperature regulation center when the baby has a fever, as the central adjustment point shifts upwards, which can cause significant stimulation to the body.
In this way, the heat production of the body will increase, and correspondingly, the heat dissipation will decrease. The baby's hands and feet are already at the tips, and they will contract when they have a fever, making their hands and feet cold when they have a fever. But when the baby has a fever, the blood vessels in the forehead area do not contract, which makes the forehead very hot.
The baby's blood circulation function itself is not perfect, and the peripheral circulation function of the hands and feet is not very good. As a result, the baby's hands and feet will become cold. Although the baby has a fever, considering that the hands and feet are cold, it is necessary to pay attention to keeping warm, drink more hot water, and strengthen the warmth of the hands and feet.
