Body feels hot, head does not feel hot, whole body feels weak and乏力 should be translated as "weak" or "lacking strength." Corrected translation: Body feels hot, head does not feel hot, whole body feels weak.

Introduction
Body feels hot, head does not feel hot, and general weakness may be due to environmental factors or pathological causes such as colds, flu, or gastroenteritis. Symptoms can be relieved through general treatments or medication. It may occur because the patient wears too many clothes or stays in a stuffy, hot environment, leading to impaired heat dissipation and a sensation of body heat.
Body heat with a cool head and general weakness may be caused by environmental factors, or could result from pathological conditions such as colds due to exposure to cold or gastroenteritis. These symptoms can be relieved through general care or medication. Specific analyses are as follows:
I. Environmental Factors
This may occur if the individual wears too many clothes or stays in a hot, stuffy environment, leading to impaired body heat dissipation. This can cause body warmth along with generalized fatigue. This is a normal physiological phenomenon that usually does not require special treatment. The person can drink more warm water and appropriately reduce clothing according to the situation.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Cold due to exposure to cold
In cold weather, wearing insufficient clothing, being exposed to cold wind, or getting caught in rain without proper warmth may lead to catching a cold, resulting in fever. Because the body is covered by clothing that traps heat while the forehead remains uncovered and cools more efficiently, the body feels hot but the head does not. Patients may take medications such as Fenghan Ganmao Granules or Jingfang Granules as directed by a physician.
2. Gastroenteritis
Gastroenteritis usually refers to inflammation of the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by improper diet or bacterial infection. If symptoms are not effectively treated, inflammatory stimulation may disrupt central nervous regulation, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, and fever. Patients may follow medical advice to take medications such as Amoxicillin Capsules or Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules for symptom management.
Besides the above causes, other possible reasons include bacterial infections, viral infections, or hyperthyroidism. It is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
