Why do babies with cold and cough have cold hands and feet?

Patient's question:

The weather has been extremely unusual these days. Yesterday, I took my child out to play, and after coming back, the child caught a cold. Now the baby has a cold and coughs, but the baby's hands and feet are very cold. What could be the reason for the baby's cold, cough, and cold hands and feet?

Doctor's answer:

The baby's hands and feet are cold. Pay close attention to observe how the baby develops a fever. Therefore, it is recommended to measure the body temperature. If the baby has a high fever, it is advised to seek medical review at a local pediatric department. Additionally, improve blood routine tests and related inflammatory indicators. The baby has a cough, so pay close attention to observe the severity of the cough. If the symptoms are mild and the baby's mental state is good, you can give the baby some lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications, and pat the baby's back more frequently. Pay close attention to observe, and if necessary, have the baby's lung condition checked locally to provide additional treatment and improve relevant etiological tests.
