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 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. r the warm head palms and soles are due to hyperdynamic circulation in these areas which is normal.

A. Generally, a baby's head feels warmer than the body temperature because their thermoregulation system is not properly developed. Thermoregulation is the phenomenon of regulating the internal temperature of the body.A baby's head may feel hot despite the child being healthy and active, without any signs of illness. If you consult a paediatrician, they will tell you not to panic. However, it is also not a situation to overlook and should be taken care of as soon as possible.
