The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Having cold hands and feet when a baby gets a fever is quite a common occurrence. The reason is that as the immune system fights, the body directs blood to internal organs, temporarily reducing blood flow to end areas like hands and feet. This is a sign that fever is rising or has risen, not a concerning situation.

When hands and feet are cold, it's important not to overdress the baby or wrap it in thick blankets—this can raise body temperature even more. A light garment is enough. If the baby is under three months and has a fever of 38°C or above, it's essential to see a healthcare provider as soon as possible. For older babies, consult the pediatrician if lethargy, consciousness change, difficulty breathing, or rash accompanies the fever.
