How to return a responsibility with feverish hand foot cold?
summary
Some parents found that when the baby has a fever, his hands and feet are often cold, so they worry that the child will be frozen, so they quickly add clothes and quilts, but they don't know that this is not conducive to the baby's heat dissipation. Experts said that it is normal for children to have a fever and cold hands and feet. Therefore, we should not wear thick clothes for children. Instead, we should pay attention to monitoring children's body temperature and adopt appropriate methods to cool them. What's the matter with a fever and cold hands and feet?, Now let's take a concrete look.
How to return a responsibility with feverish hand foot cold?
First, the body's temperature is controlled by the temperature center of the hypothalamus. If there is inflammation in the body, the temperature center will jump up the temperature set point, in order to improve the immune ability and inhibit pathogenic bacteria. To reach a higher body temperature, the body needs muscles to vibrate to generate heat, while shrinking blood vessels on the body surface to reduce heat loss, so the child's hands and feet feel cool.
Second: many parents will use the method of "covering sweat" when their children have a fever, thinking that as long as the baby has a sweat, the fever can be reduced. Li Dongfang, deputy director of pediatrics at Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, pointed out that this kind of practice is not allowed. Children with high fever tend to have poor limb circulation and feel cold hands and feet. Parents mistakenly think that children's cold hands and feet are not enough to wear, and then cover their children with thick clothes. In addition, children's sweat glands are underdeveloped and cover their sweat with fever. The more they cover their hands and feet, the hotter they are. It is easy to cause "cover heat syndrome" and induce febrile convulsions.
Third: when the baby has a fever, the body temperature is generally higher than that of adults, and the fluctuation range of body temperature is also larger. Therefore, when the baby's body temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees, it belongs to the category of fever. When the baby has a fever, it will directly affect the blood circulation of the extremities, resulting in the reduction of blood return to the heart, which will make the blood supply of the extremities insufficient. Therefore, there will be cold hands and feet. Because the development of the baby's nervous system is not perfect, the ability to regulate the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels is insufficient, and it is easy to be disordered when the baby has a fever, causing the blood vessels to be in a state of spasmodic contraction, which will also lead to cold hands and feet.

Therefore, in order to give the baby antipyretic, to choose the correct method to antipyretic, the principle is that the body temperature below 38.5 degrees choose physical cooling, drink more water, 38.5 degrees above choose oral antipyretic drug treatment, appear repeated fever or high fever situation, to timely hospital inspection for the cause of symptomatic treatment.
