When a child has a fever in the palm of the hand, the child’s temperature can be measured first to avoid adverse consequences of hyperthermia.
The normal human body temperature is between 36-37°C, higher in the afternoon than in the morning during the day, and increases after exercise, labor or eating, but not more than 1°C. So for children with high palm temperature physiological factors are: increased heat production after exercise, thicker clothing to reduce heat dissipation, etc., when the trigger is removed, that is, after rest, reduce clothing and other measures, body temperature can mostly be reduced to normal. If there is no improvement, then pathological factors must be considered.
Pathologic factors: two common categories are infection and non-infection. 1. Infectious fever, caused by various common childhood pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, mycoplasma, parasites, etc., whether localized or systemic, can occur. 2. Non-infectious fever, common in children are hematologic diseases (leukemia, lymphoma), allergic diseases (rheumatic fever, drug fever), skin diseases (allergic dermatitis), and malignant fever. allergic dermatitis), malignant tumors, intracranial disorders (persistent epilepsy), etc. Fever can occur in all of the above diseases.
The above factors can lead to elevated body temperature in children. When a child has a fever in the palm of the hand, first do not be nervous, first take the temperature, observe the child’s general condition such as mental and appetite, if it is good, you can continue to observe and monitor the temperature, if there is a high fever, depression, etc., you need to actively lower the temperature and promptly seek medical attention to reduce the incidence of adverse risks.
