Question
The child’s face turns red and feels hot after 5 PM, sometimes with warm hands and feet as well. The face becomes red and hot, and sometimes the feet feel cold. By the third day, they return to normal. Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
Answer
Generally speaking, a child’s palms and soles naturally feel a bit warm, and their temperature is higher than adults’. If a child feels warmth in their palms and soles when they are sick, their body temperature will not be below 39 degrees Celsius. If they feel coolness in their palms and soles when they are sick, it’s truly something to be concerned about, as their body temperature might be below 39 degrees Celsius. Always keep an eye on the child’s movements, avoid dressing them too warmly or too coldly.
