Every time the season changes, many children will have colds, and Xiao Fan is also one of them. During Xiao Fan's cold, Xiao Fan's mother found that Xiao Fan's body was hot, but the child's hands and feet were in a cold state, which made Xiao Fan's mother a little confused, so she immediately took the child to the hospital for examination.
After arriving at the hospital, the doctor's diagnosis was the same as Xiao Fan's mother imagined, it was indeed a cold, and why did the child have cold hands and feet? In this regard, the doctor answered Xiaofan's mother's question.
Why does the child have a fever, but his hands and feet are very cold?
The child's body temperature is actually controlled by the brain, but the child's body temperature regulation ability is not perfect, after the child is sick, the blood vessels at the end of the limbs will have insufficient blood supply, and at this time the blood vessels will also shrink, resulting in poor blood flow, the end of the limbs, that is, the parts of the hands and feet, will naturally become cold.
What should parents do when their children have cold hands and feet?
First of all, we need to correct one point, that is, many parents in the face of children with fever, cold hands and feet, simply think that the child is because of the cold and fever, so they frantically cover the child, which is actually not right.
When the child has a fever and the hands and feet are very cold, parents should indeed cover the child, but it is not the child's whole body, but the child's hands and feet.
For example, put warm gloves or cotton socks on the child, or soak the child's feet or something to increase the temperature of the child's hands and feet.
The main purpose of this is to improve the end of the child's blood flow, because if the blood flow is not smooth, it is also detrimental to the recovery of the disease.
At the same time, as a parent, you also need to pay attention to letting your children drink more hot water, and replenishing warm water in time can alleviate the cold situation of children's hands and feet, and second, you can provide water to your children to avoid dehydration due to high body temperature.
In addition, the water excretion behavior caused by drinking more water can also play a role in cooling the child's body to a certain extent.
Compared with the cold hands and feet, when the child has a fever and the whole body is hot and the hands and feet are also hot, the parents' response will change.
What should I do when my child has a fever in his hands and feet?
When the child has a fever, the hands and feet are hot, that is to say, the child's whole body is feverish, at this time, parents need to pay attention to the appropriate physical cooling of the child.
Here it should be noted that when physically cooling, try not to use these methods:
(1) Do not use alcohol to cool down: alcohol volatilization can indeed take away a lot of heat, but at the same time, alcohol itself has a strong irritation to the skin, and alcohol may cause children's alcoholism. Therefore, when the baby has a fever, it is not recommended to use alcohol to cool down
(2) Do not use the ice cooling method: when the fever is cold, it can be said that the harm to the baby is a bit large. Because the cold cooling method is too serious for the baby's cold stimulation, it may cause the baby's body to surge in cold, which is not conducive to the baby's health.
(3) Cooling sticker: This kind of thing is ok when the fever is low, because the low-grade fever is actually not in a hurry to reduce the fever.
But it is not used in high temperature fever, because it has no obvious cooling effect, it can only give the child a feeling of cooling, but it can not play the actual cooling effect, just like applying toothpaste after burns. Simply put, it is a method of psychological consolation.
The more recommended way to cool down is to reduce the child's clothes, but do not take off the child's clothes at once, let the child cool down slowly, and in the process of cooling down, it will not catch a cold again.
Of course, all of this we are talking about is an emergency operation at home, an operation to help children reduce discomfort.
If the child has a fever, parents still need to take the child to the hospital in time and treat it according to the doctor's recommendation.
In addition, in order to avoid children often getting sick and guilty, parents also need to pay attention to some of the baby's daily health care problems.
If you want your child to be less sick, daily care should do these 2 points
★ Pay attention to your child's dietary hygiene
The hygiene of the diet is one of the important causes of children's illness. As the saying goes, "the disease comes from the mouth", so parents should pay attention to helping their children develop a good dietary hygiene habit, so that children know how to wash their hands before eating and after going to the toilet.
At the same time, parents also need to pay attention to some basic dietary hygiene knowledge, such as raw and cooked food should not be put together, raw and cooked food should not use the same knife, board, etc., when cooking, the ingredients should be cleaned, cooking must be cooked and so on. Thus fundamentally guaranteeing the safety of the diet.
In addition, tell your child not to buy something to eat at a roadside stall, not to eat something unclean, and so on.
★ Pay attention to your child's warm clothing
Why are children prone to illness when changing seasons? In fact, it is because when the season is changed, the temperature difference of the climate is large, and the warmth of the child's clothing is not mastered, resulting in the child getting cold and getting sick.
Some parents will say that they wear their children very thickly, why do their children still get cold? You know, if parents dress their children very thickly, then the children will feel the heat and sweat.
At this time, the child will be very uncomfortable, so it may make some greedy behaviors, such as drinking ice water, eating ice cream, undressing, blowing air conditioning, etc. The child's hot body is likely to encounter these cold factors at once, and it is likely that there will be a cold and sick situation. Therefore, it is appropriate to dress warmly, and do not wear too thick or too thin.
Write at the end
If your child is sick, I believe that parents are very nervous and want to help their children relieve the discomfort of fever in the fastest way.
But at this time, parents must be calm to treat, must not blindly use some inappropriate methods to cool the child, otherwise it is likely to aggravate the disease, and even threaten the child's life safety.
