Question
My child is one year old. Recently, I’ve noticed that my child’s palms and soles are hot, but their forehead is not. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
Children’s bodies are not fully matured, so they are more sensitive to changes in external temperatures. From a Western medical perspective, this situation can also occur in normally healthy children. Additionally, to determine if a child has a fever, it is recommended to use a thermometer for measurement. If you are still concerned, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a check-up. Generally speaking, there is usually no major issue.
