Why Does a Baby Tremble Like a Cold Shiver?
A baby's trembling like a chill is related to various factors, such as cold weather and illness. If it is caused by coldness, parents need to keep the baby warm. If it is caused by illness, such as fever or epilepsy, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to identify the cause and carry out targeted treatment. When taking care of a baby, parents should observe the baby's changes at any time and be vigilant if there are any abnormal phenomena.
1. Coldness or insufficient warmth: Normal people will shiver when they encounter coldness. During infancy, due to the immature thermoregulatory center, thin skin, less subcutaneous fat, small body size, and less stored heat in the body, babies tend to feel cold earlier than adults when the surrounding environment is too cold, resulting in symptoms of shivering.
2. Fever: During the alternating process of cold and heat caused by fever, a baby may exhibit symptoms of shivering.
3. Epilepsy: The body tremor caused by epilepsy differs from shivering. The former has a certain regularity. If frequent body tremor occurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention to exclude the possibility of epilepsy.
1. In such cases, a trace element test can be performed to check for diseases such as calcium deficiency, and supplementary treatment can be selected based on the test results.
2. Additionally, parents should avoid exposing the baby to cold temperatures, pay attention to feeding, and ensure adequate rest. Administration of cod liver oil and exposure to sunlight can also help with the absorption of vitamin D3, leading to improved results.
