How do you stop tremors with high fever?
If this is in infants or young children, contact their pediatricians immediately.
Usually the first step is to lower the fever, usually with fever-reducing medication or cold compresses. If the tremors are caused by shivers and chills (also called rigors) associated with an infection and fever, that is the way to relieve them, but you may also need antibiotics prescribed if you have a high fever and chills, so you should contact your health care professional. If the tremors are more like a seizure than chills, especially in children with a fever, it could be what is called a febrile seizure and that should be checked immediately by a physician.
Can fever cause feet and hands to feel cold?
yes, it can. it is called chills. Chills (shivering) may occur at the beginning of an infection and are usually associated with a fever. Chills are caused by rapid muscle contraction and relaxation. They are the body's way of producing heat when it feels cold. Chills often predict the coming of a fever or an increase in the body's core temperature. Chills are an important symptom with certain diseases such as malaria.

I had a reaction to Bactrim DS that kicked up my temperature to a peak of 101.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Other effects were severe nausea and loss of taste (and food tasted excessively salty). The symptoms were obvious within just a few hours of taking the first dose, but I didn't know it was the Bactrim. I took the Bactrim for three days before the doctor told me to stop because of the side effects. After I stopped taking the Bactrim, my temperature returned to normal in about a day, though it took a couple of days longer for my sense of taste to return.
The only reason to reduce temperature is if it is too high - over 104/40. High temperature can cause brain damage.
Pathogens often can only function in a narrow temperature range. Elevated temperature serves to kill them. People who race for fever reducers prolong their illness.

German professor Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), one of the founders of what is referred to as "scientific racism", devised the 5-color racial typology for humankind (e.g., black people, white people). From this source came the category of yellow or Mongoloid race, in which Oriental Asians are placed. More can be learned at this Wiki:

For the same reason White people are called White, Black people are called Black, Native Americans are called Red, and the Asians are called Yellow.
None of these are actually these colours.
Can cutting an eye tooth cause a fever in a 7-year-old?
Yes it can. Your child from the age of 4 should have been going for the odd check-up just to get use to going to the dentist. At 7 your child should be seeing the dentist. Perhaps the gum is infected. Good luck
