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 abbout 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.

A. Hi mom This is normal temperature. Body temperature above 99.5 is fever. Warm head is normal in babies. This is due to larger head surface area and large number of sweat glands which regulates body temperature. So no need to worry if the body temperature is normal
