What is the reason for a child's fever with cold hands and feet?

Patient's question:

My baby has been touching her hands and feet recently, which are often cold. She also doesn't eat much and keeps crying. When I checked her temperature, it was 38.5 degrees. I gave her the fever reducer, Panadol for Children, and her temperature dropped a bit after a while, but it went back up at night. I'm very worried.
