Patient's question:
Baby girl, 1 year and 1 month old, started feeling hot after taking a nap yesterday. At 3 PM, her temperature reached 38.8°C. She was given 4ml of fever-reducing suspension and applied fever patches. Her fever subsided by night. Today, her daytime temperature was 37°C, with cold hands and feet. At 9 PM, her temperature was 38°C, and her hands and feet remained cold. Fever patches were applied again. What else can be done to help her cool down quickly? Why are her hands and feet cold?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is considered that the baby may have a fever. Fever is generally caused by viruses and bacteria. It is recommended to give the baby appropriate fluids. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is advisable to take oral fever-reducing granules. Physical cooling methods such as warm water bathing can also be applied. If the baby's hands and feet are cold, gently rub them. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does a 1-year-old girl have recurrent fever with cold hands and feet?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
