Does anemia cause the body to feel hot?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. Does anemia in children cause the body to feel hot, with a temperature of 37.3 or 37.6? Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Your child's anemia should never cause a fever. Anemia can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and fatigue. A temperature of 37.3-37.6°C is abnormal. The child may have a high fever, which has a cause, such as catching a cold due to exposure to cold. Oral cold medicine treatment is also needed. During the low fever period, the child should drink more warm water. Once the child's low fever subsides, it is also necessary to enhance nutrition and treat anemia with blood-boosting therapy.
