Children with fever and cold hands and feet are caused by poor peripheral circulation in the extremities when the body temperature is in the rising phase.
When a child’s fever is on the rise, the body’s heat production increases and heat dissipation decreases, which can lead to vasoconstriction of the peripheral circulation and a decrease in blood flow. At this point, the surface temperature of the skin decreases while the core temperature increases, hence the fever and chills in the extremities. This is associated with vasoconstriction and relaxation of blood vessels and redistribution of blood.
In this case, warm water can be used to wipe the areas where your child’s large arteries flow, such as the elbows, armpits and groin.
Children with fever and cold hands and feet may also have other causes, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
