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. the warm headx palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas (that is necessary for development) which is normal.

A. The body temperature is it sometimes can have different temperatures in Ola Kosam times overhead is going to be cool but the body is going to be little warm and sometimes exactly the opposite brain most of the cases it is considered normal body temperature only because kids usually have a higher body temperature than adults
