Babies have poor physical resistance, which can easily lead to the occurrence of various diseases. Therefore, as parents, we should learn more about common diseases in babies, what symptoms they have, and how to treat them in daily life, so as to avoid adverse effects on babies. Recently, some parents want to know what causes cough, cold hands and feet in babies? And what are the treatment methods?
If a baby experiences symptoms of coughing and cold hands and feet, it should be considered that it may be a cold caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. In addition to coughing, babies may also experience fever symptoms. The reason why their hands and feet are cold is that when they have a fever, the blood vessels at the ends of their limbs will spasm, leading to insufficient blood supply to the limbs. However, as long as a thermometer is used to measure, it will be found that the baby's body temperature has increased.
For this situation, parents should take their baby to the hospital for medical treatment, and conduct a blood routine test to find out which pathogen caused the infection, so that doctors can use targeted drugs for treatment based on the test results. If the baby's fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees, fever reducing drugs can be temporarily avoided. Parents can use physical methods to cool the baby, such as giving the baby a warm bath or wiping with a warm towel, which can help dissipate the body temperature.
But if the baby has a fever with a body temperature exceeding 38.5 degrees, antipyretic drugs need to be taken to reduce the fever. At the same time, parents also need to take physical cooling measures for the baby to prevent the fever from not returning or recurring. Pay attention to letting the baby drink more water and replenish body fluids in a timely manner to avoid the occurrence of dehydration. Before the baby's symptoms completely subside, parents need to take the baby to the hospital for regular follow-up, and the doctor will adjust the medication according to the baby's recovery situation to promote the baby's recovery.
