Some parents find that babies often have cold hands and feet when they have a fever, so they worry about their children being frozen and rush to add clothes and quilts, not knowing that this is not conducive to baby heat dissipation. Experts say that it is normal for children to have cold hands and feet when they have a fever, so they should not give their children thick clothes, but should pay attention to monitoring the child’s body temperature, and use appropriate ways to cool down. The body’s temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus’ temperature center. If there is inflammation in the body, the temperature center will jump up the temperature set point with the aim of improving immunity and suppressing pathogenic bacteria. To achieve a higher body temperature, the body needs muscle tremors to generate heat and contract the blood vessels on the surface to reduce heat loss, so the child’s hands and feet feel cold to the touch.
