So, is a high fever with cold hands and feet dangerous? How should parents care for a child in this condition, and when should they take their child to see a doctor?\nDr. Cao Thi Thanh from the Pediatrics - Neonatology department at Vinmec Hai Phong International Hospital will help parents answer these questions.\nCase 1: High fever is a symptom, and cold hands and feet are a consequence of the fever. Most children with cold hands and feet fall into this category. \nFever is produced by the body's immune system under the direction of the brain's hypothalamus (a part of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, and other essential functions). When the hypothalamus detects an infection, it sets a \"setpoint\" that forces the body to increase its temperature (fever). The immune system then releases substances that cause the blood vessels in the hands and feet to constrict, so parents will see the child's hands and feet cold. \nHowever, once the body reaches the \"setpoint,\" the blood vessels will dilate. At that point, parents will see the child's hands and feet turn pink, sometimes with red spots, and the child will sweat and no longer feel cold.\nCold hands and feet are a consequence of the fever\nCase 2: High fever and cold hands and feet are a consequence of a virus. \nIn some cases, a high fever with cold hands and feet is a sign of a viral infection. The virus attacks the brain and small blood vessels in the child's hands and feet. This is a serious condition, and the child may develop meningitis or a blood infection. \nTherefore, the best way to handle a child with a high fever and cold hands and feet is to take them to a doctor for an accurate diagnosis.\n \n2.

How can parents care for a child with a fever and cold hands and feet?\nChildren with a fever below 38°C do not need fever-reducing medication.\nDrink oral rehydration solution for children: Orserol.\nFor children with a fever of 38.5°C, parents can give them children's fever-reducing medication, such as hapacol - paracetamol.\nAfter receiving an accurate diagnosis from the doctor, mothers should keep the child's body cool with clothes that absorb sweat well. Wipe the child with a warm cloth to make them feel comfortable and less cold. Feed the child soft, easy-to-digest foods like porridge and milk. If the child has any warning signs, parents should take the child to see a doctor.\nThe Pediatrics department at Vinmec International General Hospital is a place to receive and examine diseases that infants and young children are susceptible to: viral fever, bacterial fever, otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear), pneumonia (lung infection)  in children, etc. With modern equipment, a sterile environment, minimizing the impact and risk of disease transmission.

Readable Markdown	☰ Table of content This article is professionally consulted by Dr. Cao Thi Thanh, Specialist II in Pediatrics - Neonatology - Vinmec International General Hospital Hai Phong. Fever is a very common symptom in infants and young children, but instead of the child being hot all over, their hands and feet are cold. So, is a high fever with cold hands and feet dangerous? How should parents care for a child in this condition, and when should they take their child to see a doctor? Dr. Cao Thi Thanh from the Pediatrics - Neonatology department at Vinmec Hai Phong International Hospital will help parents answer these questions. Case 1: High fever is a symptom, and cold hands and feet are a consequence of the fever. Most children with cold hands and feet fall into this category. Fever is produced by the body's immune system under the direction of the brain's hypothalamus (a part of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, and other essential functions). When the hypothalamus detects an infection, it sets a "setpoint" that forces the body to increase its temperature (fever). The immune system then releases substances that cause the blood vessels in the hands and feet to constrict, so parents will see the child's hands and feet cold. However, once the body reaches the "setpoint," the blood vessels will dilate. At that point, parents will see the child's hands and feet turn pink, sometimes with red spots, and the child will sweat and no longer feel cold. ![ Cold hands and feet are a consequence of the fever](https://www.vinmec.com/static/uploads/small_20190222_105715_145083_tre_sot_chan_tay_la_max_1800x1800_jpeg_236c9c0a63.jpg) Cold hands and feet are a consequence of the fever Case 2: High fever and cold hands and feet are a consequence of a virus. In some cases, a high fever with cold hands and feet is a sign of a viral infection. The virus attacks the brain and small blood vessels in the child's hands and feet. This is a serious condition, and the child may develop meningitis or a blood infection. Therefore, the best way to handle a child with a high fever and cold hands and feet is to take them to a doctor for an accurate diagnosis. ## 2\.
