Most often, a fever is a natural reaction to an inflammatory disease. Interferons are being developed against it, which play an important role in the fight against infections and viruses. Because you can not immediately take antipyretics. If the baby is well tolerated by fever, then medicines should be given only if the thermometer reaches 38.5 ° C.

But it happens, parents notice the child's fever, but at the same time he has cold hands and feet. Also to guard a caring mother is the pale skin of the baby.
The reason for this reaction is a vasospasm, because of which the body does not give off heat. Parents should take measures aimed at normalizing blood circulation. When a child has a high temperature, but cold feet and hands, then, first of all, you need to warm him. To do this, you can use the following methods:
