A. 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. x you have to consider it as fever only if the temperature in the armpit is 100°f / 37.7°c or more. x the warm head palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas (that is necessary for development) which is normal.

A. good evening it is about tendency of the child not into worry about as long as it is no fever on the thermometer you have nothing to worry about it is more important that there should not be any problem of fever
