A 4-year-old child with fever and cold feet indicates that the child’s body temperature rises too quickly, resulting in too much heat dissipation from the body surface. You need to pay attention to the feet to keep warm, give rubbing heat or use a warm water bag to keep warm locally. When the body temperature <38.5 ℃ can be used to apply warm water to the child's forehead, reduce the wearing of clothing and other physical methods of cooling, encourage the child to drink more water, some children's body temperature can gradually decline; when the body temperature ≥ 38.5 ℃ also need to use antipyretic drugs under the guidance of the doctor, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc. for antipyretic treatment.
