At this time, if you find that the baby's cheeks are red (light red when low fever, dark red above 38 degrees), and the facial skin, especially the lips, is dry and not moist, If there is no sign of sweat on the forehead, it is very likely that you have a fever. If you wear too thick clothes, your body temperature rises. Although your face is flushed, your skin is moist, your forehead is sweating, and your lips are moist and glossy.)
2. Secondly, parents can feel the palms and soles of children's hands and feet in the room under their normal hand temperature (i.e. no cold, hot water washing and other conditions affect the hand feeling). If they feel hot and no sweat, they may have a fever. If they feel hot but sweaty or warm but cold fingertips, they need not worry. This is caused by children's excessive clothing（ Most parents like to touch their children's forehead with their own forehead to judge whether they have a fever. However, when they have a low fever, the symptoms of their hands and feet are more obvious than those of their forehead,
