Question 1

baby has a cold clammy forehead, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Fever: A cautious approach to neonates and young infants with fever is prudent, given the risk and potentially adverse consequences of unrecognized and/or untreated serious bacterial infection.

A thorough history is an essential component of the evaluation of young infants with documented fever (rectal temperature ≥38°C or 100.4°F).

Question 2

i have a 10 month old baby and her head is cold and clammy and so is her body she is fussy and figity also. what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Cold and clammy: Hard to say what the problem is, but if you have any concern have your child checked for peace of mind.

Question 3

can i give my 5 month old something for a cold? forehead is clammy

Accepted Answer

The AAP states...: The american academy of pediatrics has recently announced that under the age of 6 years old decongestants and cold medications have not been proven effective. Having said that, your pediatrician could more clearly advise you as to exactly what measures should be used if your 5 month old has a cold. Most suggest nasal saline, gentle suction, and cool mist humidifier.

Question 4

headache rt side only, cold, clammy, sweaty forehead & neck?

Accepted Answer

See a doc: A new headache with symptoms that sound like fever, needs evaluation today, especially if you just started with it in the last few days.  See or call your doc, or go to an UC or an ER, if necessary.

Question 5

my partner is very cold&clammy especially around the forehead which is wet/clammy. he has had a really high blood pressure for the last couple of year?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: He could be developing an infection - perhaps kidney or flu like infection.  He could also be having a heart problem.  Some people have decreased blood flow to the heart muscle and do not experience pain but rather symptoms such as sweating, nausea, dizziness.  Given the history of very high BP I would have him checked at the ER.

Question 6

2mo baby, cool clammy head and torso is slightly sweaty rest of him is fine, no fever, drooling more than usual and really fussy. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Watch him: if he is acting normally otherwise, just monitor him at home. keep an eye on his fluid intake and urine output. if he starts to have fever and cannot be calmed, then take him to ER.

Question 7

my 2.5 month old is otherwise perfectly healthy but has a cool clammy forehead at times. is this something to be concerned with?

Accepted Answer

No: If the baby is active,alert feeding well with no fever there is nothing to worry about.

Question 8

my 2 month old has a slightly cool clammy forehead and the house is warm. i know he isn't dehydrated. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac: Cool clammy skin in children can be caused by poor circulation and cardiac defects.  Cyanosis (bluish-gray discoloration of the lips, tongue, nail beds) is usually also present.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

The : The symptoms you are describing doesn't really sound like the flu.  The flu has also not really been seen at all so far this season.  I might watch to see how you do today and take some advil, (ibuprofen) force fluids and rest.  It might still be another virus. Best wishes.
