Question
Why is my baby’s head so hot?
Answer
A feverish head in babies may be due to normal metabolism or high environmental temperatures. If there are no other symptoms and the body temperature is normal, there’s usually no need to worry. However, if the fever persists or is accompanied by other discomforts such as decreased appetite, restlessness, and vomiting, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Moreover, if the baby has symptoms like a cold or fever, the feverish head might be a sign of illness, so attention should be paid and medical advice should be sought.
