Dr. Zhang Weiling
Infants with food stagnation and fever may experience symptoms such as elevated body temperature and abdominal distension. The infant’s body temperature typically rises only mildly—usually not exceeding 38°C. Marked abdominal distension and discomfort are commonly observed, along with mild facial flushing (particularly on the cheeks). Additionally, the infant’s stool often has a distinct sour, foul odor; bowel movements may be delayed, and stool volume may increase. Other symptoms include decreased appetite, anorexia, or even complete refusal to eat.
