How to deal with children who are shivering and cold

When parents are looking after their children, sometimes their children will suddenly feel cold and shiver, and after a while, they will start to feel cold and shiver again. Many parents do not know the cause of the disease, and the children’s bodies are too fragile to be treated with medication casually. Parents are reluctant to take their children to the hospital for treatment unless the condition is very serious, because hospitals contain more disinfectants and germs, which can easily be transmitted to children. So what should we do if a child suddenly feels cold and shivering?

1. Babies who are calcium deficient often sweat excessively and cry at night. Bald circles can be seen on the occipital area. It can easily lead to loss of appetite, mental retardation, decreased immune function, etc. Children with mild calcium deficiency should eat more foods rich in vitamin D, and can also supplement vitamin D and calcium.

2. High white blood cell count in routine blood test is a bacterial infection. Fever and chills may occur. Shivering is a chill. It is recommended that you pay attention to your child's temperature, measure the temperature if he or she feels unwell, and ask him or her to drink plenty of water. Observe whether your child has upper respiratory tract infection or intestinal infection, and seek medical attention in time.

3. Chills may be caused by fever. Generally speaking, if the hands and feet are cold and the limbs are shaking, it is mostly considered to be caused by high fever. It is recommended to measure the body temperature first. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic treatment can help relieve the symptoms. I wish your baby grows up healthily.

4. Consider that the symptoms are caused by transient cerebral ischemia. It can be judged in combination with blood pressure and blood sugar conditions. It is recommended to rest and not to move. It is best to go to the hospital for a CT scan to clarify the condition and give symptomatic treatment such as drugs to improve brain metabolism.

5. This is a phenomenon of false cold and real heat, which is especially common in infants and young children under 3 years old. This is mainly because babies (especially infants) have less blood in their limbs than in their internal organs. Due to insufficient blood supply to their limbs, they are more likely to feel cold than adults. In addition, the baby's nervous system is not yet fully developed, and the autonomic nerves responsible for managing vasodilation and contraction are prone to disorder, causing the small blood vessels at the ends of the limbs to be in a spasmodic contraction state and become cold when the high fever first occurs. Many parents do not understand this situation. Once they find their baby's limbs are cold, they mistakenly think that the baby has caught a cold and is afraid of the cold, so they immediately wrap the baby tightly. As a result, the baby's body temperature cannot be dissipated in time and keeps rising, and even high fever and convulsions occur.
