Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. it is very normal for small children to have slightly warm/hot head palms and soles but if the growth of the child is proper no need to worry about the warm head palm and soles.
you have to consider it as fever only if the temperature in the armpit is 100f or more.
the warm head palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas which is normal.
finger, thumb, hand,things insertion in the oral cavity is very normal at this stage and usually it is due to teething pain the child is experiencing along with inflammation and pain in the gums.
just maintain hygiene of the child finger as well as any type of things which goes inside the oral cavity and also try to maintain the hygiene of your finger when you are touching the hands of the child.
to decrease the teething pain you can press the gums of the child and if if the child is very irritable and crying for pain you can give paracetamol also.
it is a self limiting habit and no treatment is required.
