Question

Answer
When a child has a fever of 40 degrees but their limbs are cold, it may be due to sweating. It is recommended to cool the baby physically while administering oral fever-reducing medicine and to take the baby to the hospital promptly. Different causes lead to different symptoms, so patients need to seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A-grade hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take good precautions against the cold, consume light and soft foods in their daily diet, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
