The biggest concern for parents is that their babies get sick, especially very young ones, and they will feel particularly uncomfortable when they get sick. Fever is a common problem for babies, mainly due to their fast metabolism, which makes them prone to fever. After a baby has a fever, it cannot immediately subside, which has a significant impact on their health, so timely treatment is needed. So, what should I do if my baby has a fever in their hands and feet?
Fever in hands and feet is also a symptom of fever. Parents are suggested to take the baby to the hospital for examination. If the fever is caused by a virus, you need to give the baby some antiviral drugs, preferably traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations, so that the side effects will be relatively small. In addition, when the fever is severe, it is necessary to take some antipyretic drugs to prevent the fever from worsening.
When the baby's fever subsides, parents need to undress the baby and keep the indoor temperature around 26 degrees Celsius, which is the most comfortable temperature for the baby. You can also use warm water to wipe the baby's groin and armpits, which can promote fever reduction and make the baby feel less uncomfortable.
Parents of babies with fever need to take it seriously. Many babies like to have a fever at night. It is recommended that parents keep some antipyretic drugs at home and also prepare a thermometer. If the baby's fever exceeds 38 degrees, antipyretic drugs need to be taken.
