Patient's question:
During sleep, the body radiates heat outward. Why are the baby's cheeks so red?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you. This situation often occurs in spring and autumn because, during sleep, the body radiates heat and evaporates a significant amount of moisture. Poor diet can lead to food accumulation and indigestion, which typically manifest as a child's "red cheeks." Additionally, the skin on a baby's face and head is very thin and rich in blood vessels. When a large amount of blood flows through them, the vessels dilate and become thick and red. Since blood has a certain temperature, the face may feel warm. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment.
