What to do if a three-year-old baby's hands and feet are cold1

  A three-year-old baby's hands and feet are cold, which may be due to the fact that the baby has already been infected with influenza virus, causing such a situation. As parents, the first thing to pay attention to is measuring the temperature of your child. If the baby's body temperature rapidly increases by more than 38.5 degrees in a short period of time, and there are also symptoms of cold hands and feet, it should be considered that the baby is in a fever period, and fever reducing drugs should be given to the child for timely treatment.

  If disease factors are excluded, this situation generally does not require special treatment. Strengthening the baby's physical exercise, taking the baby to exercise more regularly, increasing blood circulation, can improve the symptoms of cold hands and feet. If there is no improvement after a period of treatment, you should go to the hospital for examination.

  The baby's metabolism is fast, and his hands and feet love sweating. Sweat will take away the heat on his hands and feet during evaporation, which will make him feel cool. You can put on socks for him to wear. If the baby is sweating, it should be immediately wiped dry with a cotton cloth. The baby's cold hands and feet may also be caused by the slow blood circulation. It can be prevented by rubbing the baby's hands and feet with skin care lotion or baby oil before going to bed.
