Why Is My Son Freezing Cold To Touch?
my son is freezing cold to touch, like he s been stood outside. He s two. On thursday he had an extremely high temp. Over new year he was in hospital after having convulsions. He still has the same cold. No D/V just freezing cold and wants to sleep all the time. He won t be touched, yet is a loving kid usually always wants hugs. What s up with him?

Hi,
What you are describing seems to be hypothermia which is even more dangerous than high-grade fever.
This signifies a significant bacterial infection and all the more so you are suggesting that he has been lethargic after a seizure.
I suggest you take him to the nearest Emergency Room as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
