10 Symptoms of Hypothermia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Red Skin in Infants
Hypothermia can affect people of all ages. Indeed, it’s the very young and the very old that are most at risk, although anybody can be affected if they find themselves in the wrong situation. Babies tend to be most at risk, partly because their smaller bodies are less able to withhold heat. They are also not able to help themselves if they are exposed to the cold.
If a baby does have hypothermia then their skin will likely turn red. They will also be cold to the touch. If you do suspect a baby has hypothermia, waste no time in getting them medical assistance.
