How many days does it take for a child's fever caused by food stagnation to resolve?

Generally, the recovery time for children's fever caused by food accumulation is related to the severity of the accumulation and whether care is provided promptly. Most cases improve within 2-3 days; however, if the accumulation is severe or care is inappropriate, recovery may take up to 4-5 days. Detailed analysis is as follows:

If a child's symptoms of food accumulation are mild, with only low-grade fever, and dietary adjustments are made promptly along with abdominal massage to aid digestion, the fever usually subsides within about 2 days. Symptoms such as bloating and poor appetite caused by food accumulation will also ease accordingly.

If a child suffers from severe food accumulation, presenting with high fever accompanied by vomiting and constipation, and dietary adjustments or proper care are delayed, the fever may persist for 3-5 days. In such cases, in addition to adjusting the diet, appropriate measures to aid digestion and promote intestinal motility should be taken. The body temperature will gradually return to normal only after the accumulated food is gradually resolved.

In daily life, it is important to avoid overeating and excessive snacking in children. Encourage moderate physical activity after meals to aid digestion and reduce the occurrence of food accumulation. If a child develops a fever due to food accumulation, closely monitor changes in body temperature and arrange meals appropriately to help the body recover as soon as possible.
