My 2 year old daughters legs are very hot to the touch at nighttime. The rest of her feels normal temperature. No illnesses or allergies. She is below average height but she is in proportion and a paediatrician has confirmed she is perfectly normal and growing at her own rate. Can you tell me why her legs get so hot?
Hi...sometimes in a growing kid the basic metabolic rate or BMR can do this. But if she is otherwise normal and not having any problem regarding this issue, you need not worry about it. But if she develops any redness or pain or fever it could be skin and soft tissue infection and I suggest then you will need a pediatric consult for her. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
