Hi.... seems to be a viral fever. Whenever there is fever there will be some amount of peripheral vaso constriction which will cause cold peripheries. The Other possibilities area lower ambient temperature and also an impending shock. If the kid is active otherwise and having good urine output you need not worry about shock. But if the kid is dull and lethargic you need to rush to the nearest Emergency Room.
