Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Be Concerned If The Child Is Complaining Of Being Hot ?
Should I be concerned that my child is complaining of being hot? My 6 year old son is screaming and holding his head saying he is getting too hot and that can t stand it anymore. That his body is too hot to sleep. I checked his temperature and has no fever . However, he is adamant that his body feels as if it is on fire.
Does your son feel warm on touching when he is complaining like this? I hope the thermometer is not faulty.
I hope your son sweats normally. In case he does not sweat and complains of feeling hot then he needs to be shown to a doctor as there is a medical condition, though rare, where sweat pores are absent and a child feels very hot.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
