Patient's question:
Female, 5 years old, my child has always had poor physical health. She often gets fever and colds. Now I want to know why a child has a fever of 40 degrees but cold hands and feet?Doctor's answer:
A child has a fever of 40 degrees Celsius, but their hands and feet are cold. It is suspected that sweating is the cause. It is recommended to use physical cooling methods for the child and to take fever-reducing medication orally. Additionally, it is important to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis promptly. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal, top-tier hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
