After the baby's fever subsides, if they sweat too much, they may experience a decrease in body temperature. Cold hands and feet are caused by the secretion of substances that constrict blood vessels to reduce blood flow to internal organs during fever, in order to prevent overheating of the organs. So, is it dangerous for babies to have low body temperature after the flu subsides?
During infancy, babies have relatively fragile physical qualities and are prone to various diseases. Generally speaking, it is not dangerous for a baby to have a lower body temperature after the flu subsides, which is considered normal. This is because when a baby has a high fever, they take antipyretic medication, which makes them sweat and release body heat. Therefore, after the fever subsides, the body temperature may be slightly lower, which is generally considered normal.
After the baby's flu subsides, if the body temperature is too low, you can give the baby some warm water to drink, or take appropriate measures to help the baby recover body temperature. At this time, pay attention to keeping warm and do not let the baby eat raw and cold food. If necessary, a hot water bottle can be used to help raise the baby's temperature. As long as the baby has no other conditions, after this treatment, the baby's body temperature will gradually return to normal.
If the baby's body becomes cold and hot at times after the fever subsides, it is necessary to prevent the next round of fever. It is necessary to measure the baby's temperature regularly. If the baby starts to have a fever again, physical cooling can be used to help the baby lower their temperature. If the baby's fever persists and does not improve, they should go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
