Patient's question:
The child is under 5 years old. Today, I hit their back and it has been very red ever since. From 9:00 in the morning to 7:00 in the evening, it hasn’t gone down. The past two days, there were also low fever symptoms, but it’s not hot anymore. What could be the reason? I’d like to consult about this. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon observed in your child may be considered a possible case of local capillary expansion. In this situation, there is no need to worry. Generally, it is sufficient to focus on carefully monitoring the changes in body temperature. Typically, if there are no abnormal fluctuations in body temperature, the condition should not be a serious issue and can be appropriately managed on your own.The above advice is for the question "Why does my child's face remain red and feverish after being hit?" and I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
