What Causes Headache, Fever And Cold Feet In A Child?
My almost 4 year old daughter had a headache today and then later got a fever of 100.5. She has a fever and her legs are hot but her feet are cold. Is this super serious or not a huge concern? What should I do? I gave her children s Tylenol. and now she is sleeping.

Most of the fevers in children is caused due to viral infections. But cold extremities are caused due to low circulating blood volume and may be a cause of concern even if the child is sleeping peacefully. I would not classify it as super serious and would suggest you not to worry, but I would insist that you visit a pediatrician and get the child examined. Tylenol will help in bringing down the temperature if it is raised.
