Does the baby have a fever when it's cold?

Fever is divided into shivering period, high fever period and fever reduction period. Pay attention to keep warm and add clothes properly during the cold war; Pay attention to indoor air circulation during high fever period, and don't overheat; Pay attention to wiping sweat, changing clothes in time and keeping warm properly during fever reduction. Nursing during fever is based on the baby's comfort. The traditional way of covering the body with a thick quilt to cover the sweat will hinder the heat dissipation of the body and easily cause dehydration. Although it is not desirable, if the baby feels cold, it is necessary to appropriately increase the clothes or quilts covered.

Many modern families will have one or at most two children, so each child is the most concerned person in the family. This is not only because the children are young, but also because there are many young parents. Nowadays, the parents of the younger generation have their own parenting methods. They think that the parenting methods of the older generation are unscientific. Take the child's fever as an example. Should I cover the sweat with a quilt or reduce my clothes to let the children cool down, old man?

Then when the child has a fever and cries cold, can he cover himself with a quilt to cover his sweat? In fact, if the child really feels cold, you can cover the quilt, but it must be suitable and take the comfort of the child as the premise. Of course, it is not advisable to cover your sweat. Many parents don't understand why they can't shelter their children from the wind and rain as the older generation said. Because they feel that their fever will go down after sweating all over, that's how they handled their fever when they were young. Why do people say no now?

In fact, it is a phenomenon that children have a fever but their hands and feet are cold, which is more common in infants under 3 years old. This is mainly because the blood volume of the baby's limbs is less than that of the internal organs, and because of insufficient blood supply to the limbs, hands and feet are more likely to catch cold than adults. In addition, due to the imperfect development of the baby's nervous system, the autonomic nerves responsible for managing vasodilation and contraction are prone to disorder, which will cause the small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs to be in a spasmodic contraction state in the early stage of high fever, thus catching cold.

Some babies will be covered by their parents as soon as they have a fever, and the inside and outside are wrapped like steamed dumplings. Some parents also said that children with fever must be afraid of the cold. And some people say that wearing thick clothes is just to cover the sweat on your baby. When you are sweating all over, the fever will go down. But they don't know that children's sweat glands are not developed, and it is not easy to achieve the purpose of sweating by covering their sweat. For children, the higher the body temperature is often covered, the "sweating syndrome" will appear, that is, covering too tightly will lead to symptoms such as high fever, low reaction, pale face and difficulty breathing, and some children will also induce febrile convulsions.

The doctor said that when a child has a high fever, the limb circulation will get worse and his hands and feet will get a little cold. If your hands and feet are cold or afraid of the wind and you like to snuggle up in your mother's arms, you are likely to have a fever quickly. Therefore, parents should not think that children's cold hands and feet are the reason for not wearing enough. What parents should do is to help their children cool down.

Children are always prone to get sick because their immune system is not perfect. This is not because their parents can't take care of them. In fact, children's defense system is not as strong as that of adults. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the child's fever and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
