Patient's question:
Hands and feet are cold, neck and face are hot, but the body temperature is 37 degrees. Is this considered a fever? By the way, my throat is a bit sore and my head is a bit sore. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
If a child has a fever with cold hands and feet, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for further blood tests to clarify. If there is a decrease in white blood cells and an increase in the proportion of lymphocytes, it indicates a viral infection, and ribavirin granules or antiviral granules can be used for treatment. If white blood cells are elevated and the proportion of neutrophils is high, it suggests an acute bacterial infection, and antibiotics can be used to reduce inflammation.
