Hands and feet are cold and feverish, how to reduce fever? 6 methods to smoothly reduce fever

Patient's question:

Hello, I would like to ask: How to reduce fever when having cold hands and feet - 6 methods for smooth fever reduction, what should I do

Doctor's answer:

Sometimes, although a baby's hands and feet are cold, they may still have a fever. If parents mistakenly believe the child has caught a cold and wrap them up tightly, it can prevent the baby's body temperature from dissipating normally, leading to a rise in temperature and even symptoms such as high fever and convulsions.
2. Parents must use fever-reducing medication correctly for their children. If the child's temperature is not above 38.5°C, medication is generally not needed. Physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body with cool water, can be used to lower the temperature. However, while wiping the body, ensure the child is well-covered to avoid catching a cold.
3. If the child shows other uncomfortable symptoms, they should be taken to a doctor in a timely manner to check for inflammation in their body and then receive symptomatic treatment.
