A 10-month-old infant experiencing food retention with fever can be treated, under a physician’s guidance, with digestive-promoting and food-accumulation-resolving medications—such as Xiao Er Jian Pi Hua Ji Oral Liquid. Additionally, wiping the infant’s body with a damp towel may serve as an adjunctive therapy to help alleviate these symptoms. If the fever is severe—exceeding 38.5°C—antipyretics such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules may also be administered to the child.
